abundance of fish and crustaceans in the waters close by. The added bonus was that some of the fish-rich waters ranged in depth from just six inches to 14 feet (15 cm to four meters). Plus, a bay at the back of the island offers shelter for boats during a storm. This was where the early Maya moored their fishing vessels in bad weather.
On the opposite side of the plazuela, they found burial sites in front of the building. This type of mass grave was common after the main burial sites were full. So far, nine skeletons have been found in this grave.
If you need a taxi service anywhere in Corozal or to Chetumal, call Leslie s Taxi Service, 422-2377, and ask for Alvin. If calling from Mexico, 501-422-2377 or 501-602-2583 (cell). I used Alvin. He drives carefully and does not overcharge.
Santa Cruz Waterfall is about.3 miles out of Santa Cruz going west. This pretty waterfall is 30 feet wide (10 meters) and just as deep. There is a picnic area and a place to swim, making it a popular destination for the locals.
