Paquete Caracol Privado | Descubre el Mundo de los Antiguos Mayas
Descripción
¡Bienvenido a la ciudad perdida! Un lugar muy, muy lejos de casa. Caracol se encuentra en el corazón de la selva tropical de Chiquibul. Se sabe que es una de las ciudades mayas más grandes de Belice. Dominando el centro de esta importante comunidad se encuentra la enorme estructura conocida como Caana, "Sky Place". Este inmenso complejo de palacios y templos sigue siendo hoy en día la construcción más alta hecha por humanos en Belice. ¿Estás listo para un viaje lleno de baches? Únase a nosotros mientras nos adentramos en el denso bosque verde de Belice. Continuamos en un viaje de tres horas a una de las joyas más prestigiosas de Belice. Arriba y abajo, de lado a lado mientras conducimos por el camino de tierra. Mirar por la ventana y presenciar cómo el bosque latifoliado se convierte en un bosque de pinos y luego regresa al bosque latifoliado es atractivo. Esto es bastante asombroso ya que ambos tienen ambientes diferentes y diferentes especies de vida silvestre. "¡Vamos, Vamonos!" dice Dora La Exploradora, mientras Belice lo espera.

Itinerario
Cueva Rio Frio
Ubicado en el bosque de un verde profundo se encuentra un sitio llamado Caracol. Este sitio fue encontrado en 1938 por la cazadora de caoba, Rosa Mai. Ese año A.H Anderson visitó el sitio y lo llamó "Caracol", que significa "Concha de caracol". Está ubicado en el borde occidental de las Montañas Mayas que se encuentra dentro de la Reserva Forestal de Chiquibul. Este sitio se encuentra en una meseta de 500 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Investigaciones en Caracol han demostrado que esta gran ciudad tenía una población de unos 100.000 habitantes. Se han realizado importantes excavaciones y estudios, revelando así un núcleo central masivo y un denso asentamiento continuo que se extiende en un radio de 8 kilómetros. La metrópoli es la zona con mercados revueltos, a través de bosques, talleres artesanales y agricultura extensiva. Los habitantes dependían de un sistema interdependiente de redes sociales y económicas para mantener su vitalidad. Líderes visionarios, artistas, ingenieros, agricultores, guerreros y aldeanos trabajaron juntos para crear una comunidad vibrante. Las personas que alguna vez vivieron en su ciudad dejaron una huella duradera en el paisaje físico y cultural que ahora llamamos "Caracol".

If you book a tour through this company ask for Joe (although I accidentally called him Manny, which made him laugh) Joe was so knowledgeable and so much fun. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. His love for his Mayan culture and heritage is evident when he speaks. His knowledge of the animals, birds and plant life is incredibly impressive. The lunch he provided during both tours was delicious. Thank you Joe!
Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We’re really glad to hear this was the highlight of your trip. Joe will be happy to know you enjoyed his knowledge, humor, and passion for the culture (and he’ll definitely get a laugh about the “Manny” moment!). We’re also happy you enjoyed the lunch, our cook will be glad to hear you loved it. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be happy to welcome you back whenever you return to Belize!
Joe was an amazing and extremely knowledgeable guide! He taught us so much about the Mayan culture, both past and present! Taking the private tour allowed us to set our own pace and spend time enjoying all the sites. I highly recommend taking this private tour!
It was a great experience. For many years I wanted to go but the bad roads prevented me to go. The road is now great. Oure travel guide was very good and had a great amount of knowledge of the ruins but also about the lifestyle of the Maya population. Highly recommandedGreat
Our tour guide Agusto was wonderful. Our tour was adjusted to me our needs. He was knowledgeable and very helpful
Damien was a wonderful guide. He showed us all around Caracol Ruins and gave us history of the Mayans and the jungle. He set up a nice lunch with the best food we had our entire 8 days in Belize. Then he took us to the cave. We really had the best time and enjoyed the ride to and from Caracol. I definitely recommend doing this tour. Thank you Damien for a memory we will never forget!
What an experience! Our tour guide was Damien, owner and operator of Classic Maya Adventure Tours. He comes from the Mayan culture and local community and is full of historical knowledge and pride for all things Belize. We were a group of three - parents and a 10-y-o - and he made history come alive throughout the entire tour. I cannot recommend this tour enough, and can't wait to come back to Belize and do more tours with Classic Maya (and Damien!).
Damian was an amazing guide. His encyclopaedic knowledge of not only Mayan history and architecture but also the flora and fauna of the jungle made the trip much more than expected. Friendly, funny, professional. Damian was also an excellent driver along some challenging terrain. We felt lucky to have him as our guide
Damian is an outstanding experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. I recommend his private tour for the customized experience you just can't get any other way. It is well worth it. The entire day was tailored to our desires and physical abilities to get the absolute most out of our time. Damian made the trip educational and entertaining with personal touches you won't get without a local guide. I highly recommend this tour!
I can't say enough great things about this tour and the tour company. It is a family owned/run business focused on intimate tours which was right up our alley. The family is of Mayan decent and they have lived in the area for years. Wilton is front of office and handles all of the communication. He is on top of all the details and responds quickly to all questions. Initially we had booked the Xuanantunich tour but due to high water levels on the river we had to switch to the Caracol package and in the end we are thrilled that happened. It is a little bit longer of a drive (on a dirt and bumpy road) from the San Ignacio area, but well worth the effort. Wilton was very helpful in explaining all the details and making sure the switch worked for us. His father Damian was our tour guide. He was kind, extremely knowledgeable and a fun person to spend the day with. I felt like we were on a private tour the entire day. There was only one other couple in the Rio Frio Caves and 4 other small groups at Caracol. Both locations have rich Mayan history and it was fun to learn all about it from Damian (who never seemed to tire of our endles questions). At the end of our Caracol tour Damain set up a lovely picnic with a delicious feast of food his wife had prepared. You will not be disappointed if you book with this company.
Any experience visiting a Maya site is special, but having the right guide makes all the difference. Darwin was knowledgable, professional, kind and charismatic. What more can you ask for? Despite heavy rains prior and tough road conditions, Darwin got us safely to our destinations with a smile on our face the whole way. We had a day we will NEVER forget!
