Forest Reserve and Caracol Maya site .
Depart today on a full day tour to Caracol Maya
Ruins.
Discovered in 1938 and later explored in the 1950's. Caracol was thought to be
little more than a Maya ceremonial center. It was not until more extensive
excavation efforts began in 1985 that the importance and expanse of Caracol
became known. In 1986, a round elaborately carved altar stone was uncovered
which described a victory by Caracol over Tikal, once considered to be the most
powerful Maya metropolis. This discovery filled an important missing piece of
Maya history and
positioned
Caracol as the "supreme" Maya city. The largest pyramid, the Canaa (Maya for
"sky palace"), rises 140 feet and is the tallest man-made structure in all of
Belize.
