Santa Rita

Fodor's Review:

Not far from Corozal are several Mayan sites. The closest, Santa Rita, is a short walk from the town's center. It's on a low hill across from the Coca-Cola plant. Only a few of its structures have been excavated, and there's currently no visitor center open, so it takes some imagination to picture this settlement, founded in 1500 BC, as one of the district's major trading centers. It isn't currently officially open, but you can walk around the site.
