Lamanai

Lamanai "submerged crocodile," is Maya ruin south of Iglesia India on the west bank on the northern end of the Rio Nuevo Lagoon. River access is the best approach and can be arranged in Orange Walk. This is a large site with hundreds of structures. Lamanai was sizable by 1500 BC and continued to be occupied until 1650 AD. Three temples have been reconstructed; the Jaguar Temple, the Mask Temple with 13' tall mask and the High Temple. There is a museum, restrooms and covered picnic area.
