By Horace Palacio: As of October 21, 2024, the Institute of Archaeology has announced the temporary closure of several popular archaeological sites due to elevated river levels. The Xunantunich Archaeological Reserve, one of Belize’s most visited landmarks, has been closed to visitors until further notice.
Additionally, tour activities at Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM), Barton Creek, and Nohoch Che’en caves have also been suspended due to flood risks. The rising waters pose a significant danger to visitors, leading the Institute of Archaeology to take precautionary action.
All other archaeological reserves in Belize remain open at this time. The Institute of Archaeology will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary. Visitors and tour operators are urged to avoid affected areas and stay informed about the latest announcements.
