Belize is a country with a rich Mayan history and a diverse range of historical sites that showcase its ancient Mayan civilization, colonial past, and cultural heritage. Here are some of most famous and best restored Mayan sites. These sites not only provide a fascinating look into Mayan history and culture, but also offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Exploring these Mayan ruins can be an enriching experience for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.

• Lamanai: Located in the northern part of Belize, was occupied for over 2,000 years and is renowned for its well-preserved stone monuments and temples. The Mask Temple, Jaguar Temple, and High Temple are notable structures at this site.
• Xunantunich: Located near the border with Guatamala, Xunantunich is one of the most accessible and impressive Mayan sites in Belize. It features El Castillo, a large pyramid that offers panoramic views of the surrounding areas.
• Caracol: Situated in the Cayo District, Caracol is the largest Mayan site in Belize. It was a major political and economic center during the Mayan civilization and is known for its towering structures, including the massive Sky Palace pyramid.
• Cahal Pech: Situated near the town of San Ignacio, Cahal Pech is a Mayan site that was occupied from around 1200 BC to 900 AD. It features multiple plazas, palaces, and temples, offering insights into ancient Mayan architecture.
• El Pilar: El Pilar is a cross-border archaeological reserve that straddles both Belize and Guatemala. It provides a glimpse into the urban and agricultural features of the ancient Mayan civilization and offers nature trails for exploration. 

We highly recommend Cave Tubing at the Caves Branch Outpost. The Caves Branch River is a winding waterway through the caves once inhabited by the ancient Maya, giving you a sneak peek into their historical homes. The Maya used caves as ceremonial sites and evidence of these activities can be seen. This is a very fun activity to do as an individual or with a group.
