]]>Caracol
Located deep within the Chiquibul Forest Reserve, Caracol is the largest Mayan site in Belize. It was once one of the most important Mayan political centers. At its peak, it had a population of about 150,000—more than twice the population of Belize City today. The site is dominated by the towering pyramid of Caana, which stands at 140 feet.
Xunantunich
Xunantunich is a classic example of a ceremonial center and is easily accessible to visitors. Its most prominent structure, El Castillo, offers magnificent views of the Mopan and Macal Rivers and the Guatemala border.
Altun Ha
Altun Ha is probably the most visited Mayan site in Belize. The site was a wealthy ceremonial center, and rich jade artifacts have been discovered here, including the famous Jade Head of the Mayan sun god, Kinich Ahau. Make sure not to miss the Temple of the Masonry Altars!

As much as 4 manatees on our recent snorkeling trip 
Swipe for pictures! Commonly known as the #SeaCow in Belize, spotting this species is simply amazing as they’re large enough & slow enough for snorkelers to get a good look. Sometimes, they’ll even put on a show by blowing bubbles ?Mayan Ruins
Dozens of Mayan cities can be found on the territory of Belize. The decades-old excavations of pyramids and other ruins prove that Belize once was the center of the Mayan civilization. The two most known are the Caracol Ruins, the largest Mayan ruin located in the heart of the Chiquibul Forest, and Xunantunich, the most restored Mayan ruin.
Dangriga And The Hopkins Village
The best way to truly feel the soul of one nation is to bond with the locals. It can be fun and you will learn a lot. At Dangriga, which is the home to the Belizean Garifuna, the descendants of shipwrecked slaves and native Caribs, you can hear African music, see religious traditions, or even learn to drum. In Hopkins village, where the world’s second largest barrier reef can be found, you shouldn’t leave home without going on a memorable snorkeling adventure.
