One of Belize’s greatest Maya ruins, Lamanai, is located in theOrange Walk District along the 30-mile-long New River Lagoon. It includes temples and palaces of imposing architecture that date to the Classical and Pre-Classic Periods. Lamanai offers you a singular look into Maya culture and the ecological variety of the tropical rainforest. The well-preserved mask of a Maya monarch rising from a crocodile headdress is one of Lamanai’s main draws.
