The lovely country of Belize (formerly known as British Honduras) has been a tourist destination for a very long time; and part of the Maya civlization for longer than that. Ongoing archaeological research in Belize includes work at Blue Creek Ruin, Blackman Eddy and K'axob; and each of these projects have terrific websites full of information.
A couple of my Flickr pals have been to Belize and took photographs of ruins, so I've built a little photo gallery of some of Belize's sites. If you've been to Belize and have some photos to contribute, by all means, drop me a line at
