Journey into the fascinating history of Northern Belize with Nelson Maya Adventures! Our Cerros & Santa Rita Maya Ruins Combo Tour takes you to two remarkable archaeological sites ... morein the Corozal District, offering a unique opportunity to explore ancient Maya history, architecture, trade, culture, and the connection between the Maya people and the coastal landscape of Belize.
Your adventure begins at Cerros Maya Ruins, also known as Cerro Maya, a remarkable ancient Maya site located on a peninsula overlooking Corozal Bay. Unlike many Maya sites hidden deep within the jungle, Cerros has a spectacular coastal setting, giving visitors a unique combination of ancient history, tropical scenery, and beautiful waterfront views. Archaeological evidence indicates that Cerros developed into an important coastal trading and ceremonial center during the Preclassic period, connecting coastal and inland communities through important trade routes.
Explore the ancient plazas, temples, pyramids, and other archaeological structures while learning about the people who once lived and traded here. One of the most fascinating features of Cerros is its monumental architecture and the large stucco masks associated with its temples. These masks are connected to Maya beliefs about the sun, Venus, astronomy, and the Maya understanding of the cosmos.
Take time to appreciate the panoramic surroundings from the elevated structures. From Cerros, you can enjoy views across Corozal Bay, Corozal Town, and the surrounding waterways, giving you a sense of why this location was so important to ancient Maya traders and communities. The site also contains evidence of sophisticated water-management and agricultural systems, including canals and raised fields.
After exploring Cerros, continue to Santa Rita Maya Ruins, located near Corozal Town. Santa Rita provides another fascinating perspective on the Maya civilization and was an important trading and communication center during the Late Postclassic period. Archaeological evidence connects Santa Rita with the ancient Maya city of Chactemal, an important regional center whose influence extended into the northern Yucatán and surrounding areas.
Explore the remaining structures and learn about Santa Rita’s role in regional commerce and cultural exchange. Maya communities in this region participated in extensive trade networks involving goods such as cacao, honey, jade, obsidian, and other valuable products. Santa Rita’s location near the coast helped connect communities and trading routes throughout the region.
Together, Cerros and Santa Rita offer a fascinating comparison of two important chapters in Northern Belize’s Maya history. Cerros provides a glimpse into an early coastal Maya center with monumental architecture and astronomical symbolism, while Santa Rita offers insight into the later Postclassic Maya world and its extensive trading connections.
This tour is perfect for travelers interested in archaeology, history, culture, architecture, photography, and discovering some of Belize’s lesser-known Maya treasures.

Actun Tunichil Muknal (the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), also known locally as ATM, is a cave near San Ignacio, Cayo District, notable as a Maya archaeological site that includes ... moreskeletons, ceramics, and stoneware. There are several areas with skeletal remains in the main chamber.
Many of the Maya artifacts and remains are completely calcified to the cave floor. The ceramics at the site are significant partly because they are marked with “kill holes”, which indicate that they were used for ceremonial purposes. One artifact, named the “Monkey Pot”, is one of just four of its type found in Central America. The Maya also modified cave formations here, in some instances to create altars for the offerings, in others to create silhouettes of faces and animals or to project a shadow image into the cave. The cave is extensively decorated with cave formations in the upper passages.
Actun Tunichil Muknal cave was first entered by the Mayas in AD 300-600. It was not until the late AD 700-900 that the Mayas went deeper into the cave to perform their ceremonies. The cave was officially opened to the public in 1998.
The cave houses various types of artifacts from ceramics and stoneware to the remains of skeletons. The Mayas consider Actun Tunichil Muknal a highly sacred location, enclosing the famous “Crystal Maiden,” who was thought to be a sacrifice victim. After decades of weathering and natural processes, the surface of the skeleton appears to be covered with a geological sanded finish, which gives the maiden a somewhat magical fairy-dust appearance.
