Lubaantun

---

We toured Lubaantun, which is also known as "Place of the Fallen Stones". This Mayan ruin was built around 700-900 A.D. There are eleven major structures that are grouped around five main plazas. These structures were built primarily with sandstone. Some of the artifacts we saw were: clay whistle figurines, a crystal skull, blades, grinding stones, beads, shells, and shards of pottery.

Getting up to the terraces were a challenge so make sure you wear some good hiking boots. Around the ruins are Allspice trees, if you tear off a leaf, the odor is incredible and may make you hungry!

The view is incredible, from the highest terrace you can see a view of the Caribbean.
