Caracol: Belize's Ancient Maya & Jungle Waterfall Oasis

The tour was perfect. It was much more than we expected. The site was incredible, and the lunch was delicious. We learn a lot about the Mayas and El Caracol. I highly recommend this tour. Our driver (Jaheem) and tour guide (Ed) were great. Thanks for everything.

100% would recommend. Our guides Irvin and (I apologize for not remembering the other name) were very knowledgeable on the history of not only the ruins and what was in our tour but gave us a lesson on Belize as a whole. Very kind and accommodating people.

I had the best experience with MayaWalk Tours! Everyone went above and beyond making the tour a great experience. I booked 2 tours with them as a solo person, and as is standard in Belize, most tours need at least 2 people to operate. MayaWalk did such an excellent job coordinating with me and my schedule to make sure my tours had at least 2 people so I could still go! Edeoni and Orvin gave such a thorough tour, making sure to identify animal paw prints and point out things only a trained eye could see and also helping us with any slippery areas or big steps. Lunch was excellent, big portion and even came with dessert. The cave was breathtaking and the ruins had so much more to see than I expected. Pickup was punctual and I felt very safe with Orvin’s driving. I can’t wait to come back someday and do more tours with MayaWalk.

Our guide, Edeoni, was awesome! He made the trip so much more fun! it was amazing to be able to climb up the stairs at Caracol (steps were surprisingly large, considering the relatively small stature of the Mayan peoples) and the Rio pools were so nice and refreshing.

I did 2 tours with MayaWalk and this one was my favorite! My guide was Ed, and he showed us a great day at Caracol, learned and saw so much. Afterwards it was nice to cool off at the Rio Pools. I would highly recommend this tour! The ruins and views are breathtaking

The road to caracol from San Ignacio is now very good. Only a small part still being tarmacked. The guide was excellent and patiently explained the history and what is and isn’t known about the various parts of the Mayan civilisation and also very knowledgeable and keen eyed regarding the wildlife. Very tasty lunch was packed with plenty to go round. Despite the improved road, the ruins were still relatively quiet.

The drive to the site of the tempels was great with lots of info about the history of Belize and fun facts. The guide (Jason the man!) was very nice and gave a lot of info/insights, the tempels were also great and the pools were very refreashing!

This was our third Mayan ruin tour and I admit that I was worried that it would be one too many. However, I was happy to be wrong. The drive up to Caracol is winding and beautiful and we saw a couple of Toucans (which was exciting). Our guide, Edioni, was friendly and knowledgeable and made the history come alive. The lunch was delicious traditional Belizean food that we greatly enjoyed. The road to Rio Frio Caves was closed so he offered us the choice to hike back in (an hour each way) or to go swimming at the base of Big Rock Falls. Because I had researched the falls and learned that tourists really can’t get to the bottom (without local connections), we jumped at the chance. We did stop by to see Rio on Pool and it looks like a fun place to swim and hang out, but we didn’t actually get in (because of swimming at the waterfall). I would recommend this tour for anyone wishing to experience an incredible Mayan ruin while also getting to enjoy one of Belize’s natural wonders

Excellent tour and customer service. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable as well as our driver. Lunch was delicious. The only downside was that the road to the Rio Frío Cave was closed so we couldn’t experience that. Overall though, my family and I enjoyed the tour.

What a fun day, full of enrichment and fun. Izzie was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. We shared so much knowledge with us. Rio Frio Cave was interesting and worth the hour we spent their. Dont miss the swimming opportunity at Rio On Pools, especially if you are going there in the summer, it is very refreshing. Our guides watched over our stuff and we sat under the falls and got massaged by the falling water. Be careful stepping out there though, the rocks can be slippery. Im trying to remember the name of our driver because he was amazing as well. The one driver we had that contributed to the tour and add his local knowledge of the local plants, trees and birds. They talked to us, found out what we were interested in and really went the extra mile to take care of us. We had a great time. Thank you Izzie and driver, you guys made it a great day for us.
