A Royal Discovery Beneath Belize: New Maya Tomb Found at Caracol

Explore the past. Stay in paradise.

Tucked deep in the lush jungles of Belize, the ancient Maya city of Caracol has once again made headlines… this time, for a remarkable archaeological discovery. National Geographic recently reported the uncovering of a royal tomb believed to be over 1,000 years old. Inside were ceremonial vessels, jade artifacts, and clues to the powerful rulers who once shaped Maya civilization.

But here’s the real kicker: this isn’t just a story for history buffs… it’s a living invitation for travelers to step into a land where the past is still revealing itself.

Why Caracol Should Be on Your Belize Bucket List

Caracol is one of the largest Maya sites in Belize, yet it remains peaceful, unspoiled, and surrounded by protected rainforest. It’s home to Caana, the “Sky Palace,” once the tallest manmade structure in the country… and still a jaw-dropping sight to behold.

Whether you're climbing temple stairs, wandering sun-dappled ruins, or listening to howler monkeys echo across the canopy, Caracol offers something rare: awe.
