Maya Ruin & Belize Spice Farm

Nim Li Punit, a small and beautiful hilltop Maya site, is famous for its carved stones covered with hieroglyphs and images of gods and nobles. The second largest piece of carved jade found in Belize was discovered here in 2015. Your guide will paint a compelling picture of the Maya civilization prior to European contact. Learn about Maya history and culture past and present and explore the green grounds and views of this royal complex. After enjoying a delicious fire hearth lunch at a traditional Maya home we head to the Belize Spice Farm. Here we get our hands on cardamom, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg and black pepper plants. We touch and taste these spices and learn about their origins, uses and how they are cultivated and processed. You will never look at your spice rack in the same way again
