Cayo has some cool cenotes around. One of them in east Cayo will be getting explored some more. Moon Guides has an article about it.
"Lisa J. Lucero, a professor of anthropology, returns to work in Belize... She has been working in a 200-foot-deep cenote at Cara Blanca, near Valley of Peace village. The dig is in the vicinity of the remarkable Banana Bank Lodge. Her team had discovered bones of an extinct giant sloth called Eremotherium, radiocarbon dated to 'anywhere from 9,000 to 39,000 years ago.' But, she writes, 'I am most interested in ancient Maya offerings, particularly those that date to a certain time period (about A.D. 800 to 900) when increasing evidence shows that a series of multiyear droughts, perhaps as many as eight, struck the Maya area.'"
