Here’s a glimpse into an unforgettable day of adventure and discovery in San Ignacio:
Step Back in Time at Cahal Pech Maya Site
Let’s start where ancient history meets modern wonder — Cahal Pech! This incredible Maya site is perched on a hill just minutes from town. Join our expert local guides for a fully guided tour through one of Belize’s oldest known Maya settlements. Wander through plazas, royal residences, and ceremonial temples while connecting with nature.
At M&S Adventures, we don’t just show you the Mayan Temples — we respectfully bring them to life through stories, archeological insights, and interactive fun. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of Belize’s heritage.
Get Sweet at the Chocolate-Making Experience
Who doesn’t love chocolate? At AJAW Chocolate LTD, you’ll learn the traditional Maya process of making chocolate from bean to bar. It’s hands-on, flavorful, and yes — totally delicious!
The experience includes grinding cacao beans on a stone metate, mix in spices like cinnamon or chili, and sample rich, handmade chocolate the way the Mayans enjoyed it centuries ago. A true cultural treat!
Explore the San Ignacio Welcome Center & Museum
Smack in the center of town is the colorful San Ignacio Welcome Center — a vibrant plaza buzzing with culture, local crafts, and informative displays. Dive deeper into Belizean history at the adjacent museum, where you’ll find artifacts, maps, and engaging exhibits that complement your Cahal Pech experience.
Our guides love making this stop interactive — perfect for snapping a few photos and soaking in San Ignacio’s lively local vibe!
Wander Through the San Ignacio Market
Ready to feel the pulse of the town? The San Ignacio Market is where locals and travelers meet in a colorful blend of produce, spices, crafts, and conversation. Open every day (and especially lively on Saturdays!), this is your chance to sample tropical fruits, buy handmade souvenirs, and chat with Belizean vendors.
Our guides will help you spot the best finds and maybe even haggle a little like a local. It’s not just shopping — it’s a full sensory experience.
