Great Birding destinations

Caracol is nestled deep in the Chiquibul Forest Reserve within the Mountain Pine Ridge area.  It is famed as the most extensive Maya center in the country.  This site is home to the tallest man-made structure in Belize, Caana, standing 143 ft above the plaza floor. The discovery of Alter 23, which shows bound captives, indicates that Caracol was an extremely fierce and war like center. It is believed that Caracol defeated Tikal in 562 A.D.  

The scenic drive to Caracol traverses through the Mountain Pine Ridge area. The road travels over a series of creeks, through lush tropical forest and pine forest, habitat for a variety of bird species.
