Embark on a journey that takes you into the sleeping and burial grounds of ancient Maya royalty.

Caracol, which means  “snail” in Spanish, is the largest Maya site in Belize covering about 75 square miles. Occupied around 1200 BC, but its epicenter was not populated until around 650 BC, and was abandoned in approximately 950 AD, with the entire site abandoned by 1050 AD.

Caana (meaning sky palace), the main pyramid at Caracol, houses 4 palaces and 3 temples and remains the tallest

building in modern Belize, with a height of approximately 141 feet.
