This is a lovely site, small and unrestored, yet beautiful and surrounded by nature. The staff does a great job of maintaining and preserving it. It is a credit to the people of the island that they have preserved this area from development.

Liked - tour guide very knowledgeable & Lunch was amazing (Prepared by his wife). Price was only $40 American dollars. The jungle tour was eye opening, the villagers still use string & wire to fish ... No dislikes!
This place is probably pretty cool to spend some time looking around in, but my wife and I couldn't spend more than about 3 minutes there as we were getting eaten alive by mosquitos. The ruins aren't like some of the other sites in Belize with large pryamids so you'll really have to want to see it.

Jan Brown has put her heart and soul into showing the Mayan ruins. She has a passion to protect and to tell the stories of the past. Excellent tour for a reasonable price for history buffs!
hot in the jungle and bring bug spray but well worth it walk. You walk in 1/4 mile on a wooden boardwalk. The tour is self guided so it is very easy to follow with lots of information on the site. We were there for about 2 hours
This was the fifth Maya site we visited while in Belize, and although it was definitely the smallest, I'm glad we went. We had rented a golf cart for the day since it was cloudy, and this was a great reason to head south on the island. The thing that makes this site unique is that artifacts are spread all...

myan traders lived here from 100ad the coastal maya lived and worked this site for 1600 years you feel the presence as its only just started to uncover its artifacts and mysteries.
Marco Gonzales Maya site is well worth the (often) bumpy trip 5 1/2 miles south of San Pedro. Understand that it was only recently discovered, so there's not much to look at if you're expecting towering temples and murals, calendar recreations, and guides with interesting stories to tell. Going in with no expectations and a vivid imagination will reward you...

Your journey begins walking over a rustic boardwalk through the jungle where you find evidence of the Maya through pottery and the like. Make sure you load up on bug spray however!
The walk into and through the jungle/wetlands was amazing! We saw a small snake, crabs, spiders, and a few species of exotic birds. It was quite the experience! The ruins weren't very complete, and they are still a work in progress. I would definitely recommend going here on a nice morning while it's still cool outside! One of my highlights...
