Xunantunich Mountain Biking

The journey, in full

The challenge starts at the outskirts of Succotz on a single track. This single track is the most rugged part of the ride, we maneuver around tree roots and going uphill is a bit more challenging. This part of the ride is a bit more technical and rugged; especially when going downhill, staying on the bike is a challenge. This is followed by a double track ride in a more open area where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains around the area. The ride continues through the open pasture and through a semi-deciduous forest to the beautiful river bank where a picturesque single track leads us to the village of San Jose Succotz. Here we cross the Mopan River on a ferry and ride uphill for a mile on a paved road to Maya Site of Xunantunich, which has the second tallest structure in Belize “El Castillo”. Enjoy the panoramic view of the River Valley from atop this structure.
