Pook's Hill Lodge is the perfect jumping-off point to explore the rich archaeological heritage of Belize.

At the heart of the Pook's Hill property is a Maya residential complex dating mainly to the Terminal Classic Period (ca.830-950 AD). The site is being investigated and consolidated by Christophe Helmke and Jaime Awe as part of the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project. For additional information click here.
