On the Vaca Plateau, 152 meters above sea level, Caracol is the largest archaeological site in Belize. The ruins of this Mayan city are tucked deep in the jungles of the Chiquibul National Park, near the Guatemalan border. It’s interesting to note that Caracol was once larger than Belize City and supported twice its population. The warriors of Caracol were known for their military victories, defeating both the powerful cities of Tikal and Naranjo. Today, visitors can see the carved altar stone depicting these victories. Another interesting feature is the 43-meter-high Caana (Sky Palace) pyramid, Caracol’s tallest structure. It’s also the tallest human-made structure in all of Belize and offers breathtaking vistas of the site and surrounding jungle from the top. Although Caracol was abandoned by its human inhabitants centuries ago, the ruins are teeming with wildlife. Cats, howler monkeys, and many birds are found in the forest here, and toucans often inhabit the pyramids. Beyond Caracol, a series of limestone karst caves are believed to be the largest of their kind in the Western Hemisphere.
Located in northern Belize, Lamanai was once a considerably sized Maya city. The ancient ruins are not completely uncovered yet. Archaeological work has concentrated on the investigation and restoration of the larger structures such as the High Temple, a 33 meter tall temple. Since it was still occupied by the Maya when the Spanish arrived, Lamanai, which in Maya means “submerged crocodile”, is one of the few Mayan sites to retain its traditional name.
Spotlighted in the hit 1986 Madonna song “La Isla Bonita”, San Pedro Town is the colorful and eclectic capital of Belize’s largest island, Ambergris Caye. Located on the southern tip of the island, San Pedro is a smorgasbord of restaurants, bars, and colorful buildings that regularly pulse to the sound and rhythms of festivals and street parades. Domestic air flights and water taxis from Belize City make it easy to get to, but you’ll only need a pair of flip flops or a golf cart to make your way around this lovely town.
