Getting Here and Around

One way to get here is by boat from Corozal. You can also drive from Corozal Town, crossing the New River on the hand-pulled ferry. To get to the ferry from Corozal, take the Northern Highway south toward Orange Walk Town (watch for ferry sign). Turn left and follow this unpaved road for 2.5 miles (4 km) to the ferry landing. After crossing the river, drive on to a T-intersection and turn left for Copper Bank. The trip from Corozal Town to Copper Bank takes about a half hour, but longer after heavy rains, as the dirt road can become very bad. As you enter Copper Bank, watch for signs directing you to "Cerros Maya."
