Cerros Mayan Ruins, located in Belize's Corozal District, offers a unique archaeological experience as the only known Mayan site directly on the coast. Primarily accessible by boat from Corozal Town (though a very rough road exists), the site involves moderate walking on uneven paths, making it moderately accessible for most visitors. While solo visits are possible, engaging a local guide is highly recommended to fully appreciate its historical significance and unique architecture, including stucco masks. The best time to visit is during Belize's dry season (November to May) to avoid muddy paths and ensure smoother boat travel, though it's open year-round. Expect an entrance fee of around USD 5 per person, with additional costs for boat transport or guided tours which can range from USD 50-100+. A typical visit to the site itself lasts 1-2 hours, extending to a half-day trip including travel. This less-visited gem provides stunning views of Corozal Bay and a tranquil glimpse into ancient Maya coastal trade; remember to bring insect repellent, water, and sunscreen.
