Caracol got another great write-up, and they described it quite well, along with the fact that not that many people get to see it due to it being remote. Worth a read.
'One of the largest Maya cities, Caracol, is rarely visited and is lost far in the jungle off the beaten path in Belize.
Caracol may not be a household name, unlike Tikal and Chichen Itza, but it is one of the large Maya archeological sites. It is located around 25 miles south of the Maya site of Xunantunich on the Vaca Plateau, about 1,600 feet above sea level. It was one of the most important Maya centers in the Maya Lowlands during the Classic Period.
Caracol was rediscovered in 1937 by a native logger called Rosa Mai. At the time, Belize (then called British Honduras) was a part of the British Empire. It was visited the next year by A. H. Anderson - an archeological commissioner.'
