1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - Our group never met a Maya pyramid that it didn't want to climb.
1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - On the side of a temple across the courtyard from the massive Caana structure is this original Maya wall with its intricate stone carving representing the face of a creature - perhaps a jaguar.
1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - Archeologists are at work at Caracol, their huts much in evidence as we entered the site (although work had been suspended during the time we were there). The excavations are largely being conducted by Drs. Diane and Arlen Chase of the University of Central Florida.
1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - We also saw something at Caracol we had never seen at another Maya site. Here was a ramp. Uncovered during restoration of the structure, the ramp was probably used to move stones up the structure. Similar ramps probably exist at most other Mayan pyramids but have been filled in during the final stages of construction.
1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - We began our explorations in courtyard surrounded by four pyramids.

1000places > SAN IGNACIO, BELIZE - Our final evening in the Five Sisters dining room we had our last group meal, raising a toast to two weeks of packed days, long walks, and steep stairs....and a magnificent journey along the "Route of the Maya."
1000places > CARACOL, BELIZE - After exploring the centerpiece of the Caracol site - Caana - it was time to descend from the "Sky Palace" (which, one will note, our group accomplished in various manners).
