BELIZE - Lamanai - Maya Ruins
Lamanai means "submerged crocodile" in the Maya language and it's also the name of the third largest archeological site in Belize : the Lamanai temple complex sits atop the western bluff of the New River Lagoon and is surrounded by pristine rainforest.
Lamanai was occupied continuously for over 3,000 years and it's remoteness contributed to it's continuous occupation, well beyond most other Maya sites, until at least 1,700 AD.
