As we venture to Belize’s southernmost district, Toledo, the least developed region of Belize with pristine rainforests and cultural attractions. Join us on an adventure as we explore Nim Li Punit, a smaller Maya site well known for the large number of stelae found there. Board your air-conditioned van for a scenic hour + drive to the Mayan site of Nim Li Punit, mean “Large Hat” in the Kekchi Maya language. The site was so named due to a depiction on a Mayan stela of one of its rulers wearing a very large headdress. This Mayan Ruin also has a small museum where you can see some of the stelae with well preserved Mayan drawings and writing, as well as Mayan artifacts.
The site also has a ball court in the center of the complex and an observatory in one of the plazas. Entire Mayan site is shaded by a canopy of large trees, providing a comfortable environment for viewing this very interesting Mayan site. On the way back we then head to a close by waterfall where one will be able to enjoy the view of one of many breathtaking waterfalls located in the area. Bring along swimming clothes and take a refreshing dip in a lush tropical swimming hole.
