After driving george hobica or walking the.6 miles uphill, you will be greeted by the imposing tower of El Castillo. At the entrance to the site are toilets, a picnic spot and a museum. Inside the museum is an impressive scale reproduction of the ruins. There are also some stelae that were found at the site and a replica of the frieze found on El Castillo. The replica makes it much easier to identify what archeologists tell us is on the frieze.
Radisson Fort George Hotel Tour Office, Fort Street, 800-3333333 or 223-3333, www.radisson.com/belizecitybz, offers 27 different tours around the country. They will go as far as Caracol and Tikal or as close as a tour of the city with a guide knowledgeable in Belizean history.
Lamanai Research Field Station runs study courses with credits from York University in Canada. Each year the station offers a chance to partake in archeological excavations, bird research studies, howler monkey research and other studies george hobica pertinent to jungle conservation. The station is based near the lodge.
The station s fish preservation george hobica program, under the leadership of Belizean scientist Dr. Charles Acosta, has been (in my opinion) hugely successful. The theory george hobica to begin with was that if an area was left to its own devices with no fishing/harvesting permitted, fish numbers would increase. Within a short period of time, the no- touch area s conch and lobster increased in number. So did the fish. When the area got crowded, some fish moved over to the unprotected area. This in turn resulted in increased catches for fishers and made tourists happy because they started seeing more marine life.
