Lower Dover
If you are looking for something a bit different I would suggest staying at this farm. It’s twenty minutes out of town but the place in truly unique. They cook delicious family style meals. The farm also has turkeys and roosters so be prepared to be woken up early too! 

The ATM caves
Our guide describes this experience as the ‘indiana jones’ meets ‘the goonies’ tour. He wasn’t far off. We had walk, swim, crawl and climb through some dark caves. A truly unique experience, not for the faint hearted.
Price: $BZ 180

Xunantunich 
These ruins are located 20min out of the city. Make sure to go early-isa to these ruins to avoid the tour buses. We got there at 9am and the place was pretty empty. Can you see too many ruins? Perhaps but these one offer nice 360 degree views of the city. 

Ajaw Mayan chocolate making
Take an hour tour and learn how to make chocolate the way the indigenous did.

The iguana reserve 
This reserve oddly located in a high end resort helps rehabilitate iguanas into the wild. There you can observe the reptiles and even hold them in your hands.

Benny’s
Located near the Xunatunich ruins, make sure to stop by before or after the ruins. The food is good and the service is impeccable.
