The drive to Caracol is not easy........there is only one road filled with lots of holes. Be prepared for a long day. Our guide from St Leonards Tours, Carla was fantastic! She was aware that the tour time was very early so picked up breakfast at a local restaurant in San Ignacio. Best flour tortillas we have ever had! Carla is most knowledgeable about the history of the Mayas and eager to share the information. Had a wonderful picnic lunch experiencing some of the local flavors. Most impressed by the concerns locals have about their environment.

Carla with St Leonard's Tours is fantastic! Be ready for an adventure! The drive is long and rocky, so be prepared for a long day. Caracol site is worth the trip. On the way back, the gorgeous water falls stole my heart! Carla was professional and very accommodating! Worth every penny!

Our guide for this tour was Victor Coyoc. Carla Juan from St. Leonards gave us his name ahead of the trip so we knew who we were working with. Victor was very accommodating. Since we had done Xunantunich the day before, Victor rearrange his usual route and had us do the tallest ruin first in the event we tired and were unable to climb the others. Victor was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the ruins. I would recommend him to anyone that wants a large amount of information about the area.
