Belize: Barton Creek Cave

 








Barton Creek Cave is a unique case because it is an archaeology site as well as a beautiful tourist destination. It is located in the Barton Creek near the Cayo District and San Ignacio. There is an amazing amount of evidence that says that the Mayans use to frequent this cave a lot. Pottery have been found throughout the cave demonstrating that Mayan life was once in this particular cave. Other evidence that the Mayans were once at Barton Creek Cave was due to the fact 28 human remains have been found in the cave making some to speculate if this cave was once home to human sacrifices. There is also the Barton Creek that runs throughout the cave.
