Xunantunich Mayan Ruins
If you love your history then this is one of the most accessible Mayan restorations in the Belmopan vicinity.
We didn't have a guide, but our paid driver took us through the ruins for a personal tour.
We were told about the mysteries and stories about the ruins and some fairly accurate history about the recent find and restoration.
The journey there is quite beautiful and a nice adventure with lots of places to give your tourist money to the local traders.
I personally recommend the shops at the ferry and at the ruins. You might not have time to stop at the ferry shops on your way there, but try to shop there after you come back over the river on your return.
Carved wood and stone, weaving, painting, etc. All made by locals (I think) and you can bargain the prices down if you feel you have to.
When in these types of stores, I tend to think of a budget, like $50, and then bargain with them for what I can get for $50. Fake or not, it makes me feel less guilty compared with pushing someone down to $5 for a stone carving. Your money going into the local economy is the best thing we can do for three lovely people.
Everyone on the day we went here was wonderful and friendly.
