Come and visit the biggest Mayan Ruins in Toledo District and also experience the underground world.
Beginningat around 8.00am in the morning, a forty five minute drive will take you close to San Pedro Columbia Village, where you will discover the Mayan Temple of Lubaantun. The City dates from the Maya Classic era, flourishing from approximately AD 730 to approximately AD 890, and seems to have been completely abandoned shortly afterwards. The architecture is somewhat unusual compared to typical classical central lowland Maya sites. The city is made from 11 structures built around 5 plazas. Lubaantun has been claimed to be the original location of the Crystal Skull (although that claim has some controversy around it). Explore the different temples and learn about the early inhabitants of Belize and their way of life. Lubaantun attracts many different species of birds including the toucan, Belize’s national bird, so be on the lookout for
exotic wildlife while enjoying this adventurous learning experience.
After Lubaantun you will enjoy a traditional Mayan lunch at San Miguel Village prepared by a Mayan family. After this tasty and unforgettable lunch you will continue your journey to Blue Creek Village, where you will leave your vehicle behind and experience a beautiful 20 minutes walk along the Blue Creek Riverpassing through jungle and crossing a river bed, so be on the lookout for iguanas, and a variety of birds. Blue Creek Cave, formed around 200 million years ago, has a river emerging from the mouth of the cave. And this is where you and your guide will jump in to the cool crystal clear water and swim/float inside the cave. You will discover breath taking limestone formations on your journey into the cave and on your float back out. Blue Creek Cave is a truly unforgettable experience!!!
