About San Ignacio for Solo Travelers
Belize's inland adventure capital where Maya ruins, sacred ATM Cave, and jungle river tubing give solo travelers a completely different side of Belize from the islands.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
San Ignacio is Belize's adventure inland hub — ATM Cave (Actun Tunichil Muknal), the Caracol Maya ruins, and Xunantunich are all accessible from here, and most tours group solo travelers together. The town itself is social, affordable, and English-speaking. The Saturday market is excellent. Great base for Guatemala's Tikal as a day trip or overnight.
