Jungle and Maya site Trips. While Belize has the amazing Barrier Reef, Cayes, and the underwater world, there is adventure waiting ashore! One must also experience the extensive Jungles, the Sacred Caves, the Rivers, the Mountains, and the Maya sites inland Belize! Day trips to some Maya sites and attractions can be made directly from Caye Caulker. Boat trips to the mainland can be arranged that have an early departure and return in late afternoon. We can also suggest lodges to stay at for the more remote inland adventures. This site is a popular trip from Caye Caulker. You first travel by boat to the mainland up a mangrove river then a short distance by vehicle to the site. On the Jungle river you see many birds, orchids and sometimes see crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks. This is the largest Maya site in Belize and one of the most impressive. It is hard to believe that it is larger than the famous Tikal in Guatemala. Caracol started a massive archeology excavation project in 1985, there are 4,000 structures in the 55 square mile Maya site. Belize's tallest pyramid (140 feet)is here in Caracol. A most impressive site and very popular among tourists. Requires a trip across the border into Guatemala. There are about 3,000 structures. This site can also be visited from Caye Caulker. It too requires travel by boat, then land vehicle, then further in the jungle on yet another boat. It is a full day of adventure! The more adventurous inland excursions can include guided trips to Sacred Mayan caves. Since the base rock of Belize is limestone, water erosion over the eons has created thousands of caves. The Mayans believed these caves were entrances to the underworld and used them as places for rituals and sacrifices. Many caves like the ATM cave below contain ceramic artifacts and stone tools. A less strenuous trip that is well worth the time is to visit the Belize Zoo. It is 30 miles from Belize City and is easy to get to via taxi or bus. The animals are well taken care of in a natural jungle rainforest environment. No cages and bars here! Just a section of jungle fenced off for each type. No animals are trapped to populate the zoo. It has become a home and refuge for over 100 Belizean animals. Animals that cannot be returned to the environment are cared for here. Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM). Mayan pottery in ATM cave.
