Cahal Pech Archeological Site
Description
Perched above San Ignacio, Cahal Pech is an ancient Maya site just a 10-minute walk from town — where history and jungle meet. Once home to an elite Maya family, its plazas and temples date back to 1200 B.C., offering one of Belize’s oldest glimpses into Maya civilization. With panoramic views and a peaceful rainforest setting, it’s a must-visit adventure for anyone exploring western Belize.
