Why visit Caracol Mayan Ruins

Your location in the San Ignacio area is ideal for a day visit to this incredible site! This majestic site dates back to 1200 BC.  Stand where kings ruled and marvel in awe at the ruins that once were houses, ball courts, temples, causeways, and hints of an ancient water reservoir. The highest temple in Belize, the impressive  Caana Temple at Caracol, stands over 140 feet from the jungle floor and includes a sweeping gaze of the jungle all the way to Guatemala.

A swim stop at Rio On Pools makes for a refreshing day!  Cascading waterfalls gathering in inviting pools beckon for the ultimate water break.
