Caracol (Ox Witz ha)
Rising out of the Maya Mountain jungle at 140 feet from the plaza floor, Caana (Sky Place), the tallest building the ancient Maya built in Belize stands its ground as one of the most majestic and powerful ancient cities in the classic period (300AD – 900AD), within the central Maya lowlands.
A place filled with Plazas, palaces, sacbe’s (ceremonial white roads), temples and the most tombs in the Maya area, Caracol, will be a fascinating experience for you.

This trip takes a full day to truly get the experience. The road currently is a dirt road that many times becomes very challenging in some instances. Its 50 miles away from San Ignacio and about 80% is off road.
All tour operators must respect the army convoy that accompanies us to the site from Augustine Pine Ridge. This is a security protocol that works well.
We normally leave at 7:30 from San Ignacio town and return closer to 6PM. The tour comes out of the site at 2PM but we get the chance to go to a small cave – Rio Frio cave when the road to it allows us. We do stop at a swimming area – Rio On Pools – which is set in a valley on our way back to town. Its a beautiful granite-base river.
