Kariibi Day

The largest Maya site in Belize, deep in the Chiquibul Forest, once the most powerful city in the region. The Caana pyramid still dominates the canopy and archaeologists are still uncovering new structures every season. The road in is rough, the jungle is real, and the reward is standing where kings once ruled.
