Day 3:
On Safari Maruba Style: Lamanaii
Maruba?s trip to Lamanai (ancient Mayan Temple of the God of the Submerged Crocodile) is a fascinating, mind blowing experience made even more exotic by the Maruba touch. Your trip begins with a short drive down the Old Northern Highway to the New River Lagoon, Belize?s biggest lake. At Lamanai, learn how the Mayan site was excavated between 1974 and 1986 by archaeologist David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum of Canada. View ceremonial sites that the Mayans used from 1500 B.C. to at least A.D.1650, the longest occupied Mayan site ever. Lunch is simply a treat, served where Pendergast and his archaeological team would have eaten, with the Lagoon shimmering sienna in the heat. Marvel at the pyramids that sit on a hill and still soar above the jungle with howler monkeys, black as soot, swinging in the trees overhead. Your day will be well spent touring with Maruba?s capable and knowledgeable guide.
