Caracol Mayan Ruins
On the way to Caracol we pass through the Mountain Pine Ridge, before reaching the pristine jungle that surrounds the Caracol Archeological site. First stop is the museum which houses many interesting artifacts including a newly discovered ritual mask, still in mint condition.

Next we ascend to the top of "Caana", a massive ceremonial pyramid, which stands 140 feet high and is

Caracol the highest manmade structure in Belize. From the top you will be taken away to ancient times with its intoxicating views. Other highlights, among the numerous excavated and partially excavated structures to explore, are the sky observatory and ball court.

Another highlight is listening to story of Caracol warriors trekking through the jungle to Tikal, 60 miles away, and then defeating them in an epic battle, as depicted by hieroglyphic inscriptions & cryptic glyphs etched in stone stelae, recovered from the site.

Afterwards, time permitting, we stop off at Rio Frio Cave in the Mountain Pine Ridge. The cave has a sandy beach surrounded by boulders the size of rooms with a clear

mountain steam running through. The cave is one-half mile long with enormous openings at each end, which makes flashlights unnecessary to view the cave.

We then move on to Rio On Pools, where one shall be privy to granite and limestone rock formations, cascading waterfalls and wonderful swimming. Other options include a visit to 1000 foot falls or Big Rock falls.

Cave Tubing This is the one everyone raves about! Following a 45 minute jungle trek, enter the river and tube for a mile and a half, in and out of 3 river-cave-systems.Along the way, witness majestic stalactite and stalagmite formations.

LOST VALLEYS OF THE MAYA PRIVATE TOUR

After a 40-minute drive up the Chiquibul trail and through the picturesque village of El Progresso, we hike about 10 minutes through the jungle passing two un-excavated Mayan grave mounds. We then arrive at some massive limestone formations towering 40 to 100 feet high, which are known as the "Lost Valley of the Mayas". Along the way, we encounter caves full of untouched Mayan artifacts and pottery.

You'll also be privy to viewing a Mayan ritual chamber
and a discussion chamber with the seats in their original

Lost Valley
positions. Here you can view the natural orchid garden and an ancient Mayan cooking area. Then while making your way to a hidden opening in the limestone, you'll see protruding from the rock formation, what appears to be a dinosaur skull. Throughout this tour we'll point out the local plants the Mayans used for medicines, food and offerings.

El Pilar El Pilar is located about 12 miles from the town of San Ignacio, near Bullet Tree Falls village. Travel via all-weather roads deep into the jungle and cross over rivers into the Yalbac hills to get to this site well known for its birdwatching. El Pilar is one of Belize’s largest Mayan sites covering about 50 acres of jungle. There are many large temples on site, the tallest of which is about 70 feet high.

Lamanai/Baboon Sanctuary
Lamanai
The ancient ruins of Lamanai are not completely uncovered yet. However, as you walk around you see many temples that are uncovered and many hills that upon closer observation are clearly temples yet to be excavated. Wildlife is abundant around Lamanai. You see and hear howler monkeys and jaguars have been known to be nearby. This is reflected in the stories of the locals as well as the architecture.

The temples you do see they are amazing. They rise from the jungle floor to a spectacular view above the jungle canopy. The temples have many carvings into them of the jaguars and crocodiles that inhabit the New River Lagoon. In fact on one of the temples, "El Castillo", you can climb to the top at your own risk. There is a rope and very narrow, tall, steep steps leading to the top. After about a 100-foot climb you encounter a breathtaking view.

Baboon Sanctuary

The Baboon Sanctuary, near Bermudian Landing is located on a 20 mile stretch of the Belize river, 27 miles from Belize City. This community sanctuary protects the Black Howler Monkeys which are called "baboons" locally. The sanctuary was created when the landowners came together in the region and began following a plan for using their land, the agreement was to leave bits of the forest standing for the monkeys to flourish. This sanctuary offers an amazing opportunity to view these unique monkeys in their natural habitat. Know for their 'howl' they can be heard for miles around.
