Caracol Reviewed on Stela 9 | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Caracol is mentioned as the ruin to see in Belize.  The article mentions how Caracol isn't overcrowded with guests.

 

"The largest site in Belize, it is believed Caracol once defeated Tikal in war!  Quite an achievement considering Tikal is known as one of the most powerful Mayan cities ever.  The tallest pyramid, Caana, stands 140 feet tall and overlooks the jungle canopy.  There is a lot of archaeological work continuing at the site.  It is expected to proceed into the years ahead.  If you get there in the dry season, chances are you will see a few hard working archaeologists floating about.  While a lot of excavation work has been completed, you can still expect many of the structures to be engulfed in jungle.  Remember, this means means more wildlife and more feeling like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft."
