• Barton Creek Cave - Upper Barton Creek is a distinctive community formed by reformers from various Anabaptist traditions. Their aim was to establish a Mennonite community that resisted modern trends and embraced a simple Christian lifestyle. Founded in 1969 by Plautdietsch-speaking “Russian” Mennonites, the community practices horse farming. Both men and women wear traditional attire akin to that of Old Order Mennonites and Amish, with men sporting beards.

Embark on a picturesque journey with your guide, passing through the charming village of San Jose Succotz. Upon reaching Xunantunich, cross the Mopan River on a historic hand-cranked ferry, followed by a short drive to the hilltop site of Xunantunich. The partially-excavated and tallest pyramid, El Castillo, rises 130 feet above the main plaza floor, providing a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view over the jungle canopy of the Mopan River Valley. Climbing to the top of El Castillo is highly recommended, if possible. Continue to Barton Creek, traveling through stunning hilly landscapes. Barton Creek is a natural limestone cave once used by the Mayans for ceremonial purposes. The cave is accessible only by canoe, allowing for a mile-long paddle through cathedral-like chambers and wide passage caverns. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear, blue-like creek.
