Day 2: - Full day tour to the Mountain Pine Ridge 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.Accom: Cayo area resort -(B,L,D)
