LAMANAI TOUR

WHAT TO EXPECT!

Visit the place of Lamanai, one of the oldest in Belize, enjoy this mix between tour in the river and Mayan ruins. We left from San Ignacio very early with our Tikal Go bus with air conditioning heading to Orange Walk. Once in Orange walk we’ll board the boat that will take us to the place. During our boat trip you’ll know the diverse vegetation of the river and the area full of tropical birds, crocodiles, insects, spider monkeys. After almost 2 hours of crossing and a couple of breaks where our Guide of Tikal Go will explain you about the river and about why Lamanai was one of the longest cities of the Mayan civilization, we’ll arrive at the Laguna del Río Nuevo where you’ll have the view of the magnificent archaeological place.

According to studies, this city began to exist in the year 1600 BC, which through time was changing and growing. Today we can still appreciate three very large pyramids of that time, residential areas, squares and the ball game field.

Meet the visible part of the Temple of the Jaguar Mask and listen to your Guide of Tikal Go narrate how great that civilization was, its religious beliefs, advances in science, astronomy and the role played by chocolate in the Mayan culture.

* We can make this tour from San Ignacio or from Belize. We advise you to stay one night and do a crocodile tour the next day or to extend the tour to get to know the current Mennonite communities.
