Description
Because Lamanai is located on the banks of the New River Lagoon, some travelers visit the site via a “jungle” cruise through the rainforest. This method of transportation will give you a chance to see local wildlife, including monkeys, crocodiles and iguanas. Once at Lamanai, you’ll find a well-excavated and beautiful site. Lamanai was once a major city and was also one of the longest occupied Mayan cities. The main attractions at this site are three pyramids, the Jaguar Temple, the High Temple and Mask Temple. The Jaguar Temple gets its name because part of it was constructed to look like the head of the big cat. The mask temple boasts huge faces carved into the structure. Looking for a little exercise? Then climb up the High Temple, where you can enjoy a view of the surrounding jungle.
