Cerros
Cerros Review
Like the Tulum site in Mexico, Cerros Maya is unusual in that it's directly on the water. With a beautiful setting on Corozal Bay, at the mouth of the New River, the late Pre-Classic center dates to 2000 BC and includes a ball court, several tombs, and a large temple. Altogether, there are some 170 structures, many just mounds of stone and earth, on 52 acres. Bring plenty of bug spray—mosquitoes can be fierce here.
