Dolphins travel in pods and it is suspected that each member of a pod is related. monarch lakes They like to stay near their home waters for their entire lives. They hunt for fish using an echo-location method similar to bats. A dolphin will eat up to 150 pounds (68 kg) of fish a day.
MAYFLOWER RUINS Mayflower is a small site that has been partially excavated. It has two pyramids. One had a large amount of sand and boulders brought in to make the base for numerous platforms. This was topped with a thatched-roof ceremonial building. In front of this pyramid, known as Maintzunun (meaning small hummingbird), was a pit where offerings to the gods were burned. During one of the later phases of occupation, the buildings at this pyramid were destroyed by fire. The second pyramid is much smaller and has just one level. It is called T au Witz, which means Place of the Local God of the Hill. A small stele and altar were found here, along with some pottery shards.
If leaving Corozal at Mile 79 on the New Northern Highway, go past theservicestationandbus terminal.Stayontheroad,butdonotgoto the Santa Rita ruins (up the hill). Instead, veer to the right and continue to the junction five miles beyond Corozal. Turn right. It is four miles to SantaElena and the Mexican border. From Corozal to the border takesabout half an hour and the crossing is usually non-eventful. There is a US $20 fee to leave Belize. There is no fee to enter Mexico. Belize buses cross the Mexican border and go as far as Chetumal. The money changers at the border monarch lakes are good. Get rid of your Belize dollars before crossing.
Although I don t recommend cycling in the city itself, I do encourage cyclists monarch lakes to connect with Belizean cycling groups and get to places out of town. If you must cycle in Belize City, you should bring your own bicycle; rentals are not available.
