Tour Guide Bruce of Pacz Tours, explains about Caracol and its link to the demise of the Mayan Civilization.
Welcome to Caracol.
We will start off by going to some of the residential structures and then we'll go to some of the bigger ones. We won't have enough time to go around the entire site as Caracol covers 55 square miles, with sub 36,000 structures. We'll do the epic center which contains about 79 structures two and a half kilometers.
We are at the South Acropolis group, which is a small residential complex for the extended families of the ruler. The first excavation done here was by Linton sorrow, back in the 1950s. They uncovered two burials of members of the royal family. Four more burials were also dogged by the University of Central Florida in the 90s. All four of them were proven to be members of the Royal.
Up until 1100s they were small groups but were the final abandonment. Our evidence suggests rapid abandonment. We from human remains on structures. Large numbers of Pattories in rooms buildings are working on and they never finish. Usually, they bury their dead and if you're planning to move you're supposed to take care of pots and pans. In this case, it looks like they never had time to do that, they were running for their life. At the same time what we found out is the increase of sacrifices in the cave. Between nine and eleven hundred AD. It got to the point where a lot more children or being sacrificed and even members of the royal family.
Caracol Archeological Site - Belize Mayan Ruins Tour.
Caracol Mayan Ruins Tour is unlike any other site in Belize. Because it’s so secluded, there’s more wildlife that calls it home–like the ocellated turkey, the keel-billed toucan, and the legendary mot-mot. And like the famous buried city of Cumae in Italy, most of the city still lies sleeping underground. But even the small fraction of buildings exposed to the air offer testament to the city’s majesty.
In addition to these extraordinary ruins, PACZ offers two stops on the way there or back: first, the breathtaking Rio Frio cave, with its eerie subterranean beach and ceilings high enough to fit a cathedral. You can try capturing it all in one camera shot, but no one’s ever succeeded!
