Come and visit our two different Mayan Ruins sites in the Toledo District to experience life in an ancient Maya City.

Beginning at around 8.30am in the morning, a forty five minute drive will take you to the Mayan Ruins of Nim Li Punit, located in Indian Creek Village. Nim Li Punit is a medium sized site from the Maya Classic Period, flourishing from the 5th century AD through the 8th century AD. It consists of structures surrounding three plazas, including several step-pyramids, the tallest being 12.2 meters high.

The site has a number of carved stelae illustrating the ancient city's rulers. You will visit the onsite museum with many of the stelae protected there from the Toledo rain. While you walk along ancient structures and stelaes don't forget to stop and enjoy one of the most spectacular views in Southern Belize. Nim Li Punit has a large variety of birds so be on the lookout for any wildlife you may encounter during your tour.
After Nim Li Punit you will enjoy a traditional Belizean lunch at Big Falls Village. After this tasty and unforgettable lunch you will continue your journey to nearby San Pedro Columbia Village, where you will discover the Mayan Temple of Lubaantun, the biggest Mayan archeological site in Southern Belize.

The architecture is somewhat unusualcompared totypical classical central lowland Maya sites. The city ismade from 11 structures built around 5plazas. Lubaantun has been claimed to be the original location of the Crystal Skull (although that claim has some controversy around it).
