For great Maya archaeology, guests will explore Caracol, the most extensive Maya site in Belize, as well as Cahal Pech and Xunantunich. A unique adventure awaits visitors to Actun Tunichil Muknal, where you hike, traverse a river, climb over rocks and swim into an unforgettable Maya ceremonial cave, replete with magnificent limestone formations and highlighted by Maya pottery relics and human remains.
