Lubaantun

We enjoyed visiting the Lubaantun ruins -- the largest in southern Belize. All structures are made of limestone blocks with no visible mortar binding them together.


When portions of Lubaantun were excavated, large numbers of miniature ceramic objects were found. Santiago Coc, the caretaker of Lubaantun, makes and sells ceramic whistles that are duplicates of the ceramic whistles of Lubaantun. Bottom-right is the one we purchased from him.
