A day trip to go bird watching and see the Lamanai ruins is a must-do. You'll travel to Lamanai along the river, and its the river and all the wildlife (bats, tiger herons, spider monkeys..) you'll see that will be the most memorable.
Orange Walk Town
In the days of the Maya civilization, the area was known as Holpatin. The district is home to the biggest Maya temple of the pre-classic period. The Maya of the area came in contact with the Europeans in the 1530s, after which the two groups fought over land. In 1848, there was a massive influx of Maya and Mestizos from Mexico, fleeing the Caste War of Yucatán (1847–1901). This caused a rapid growth of population. In 1872, it was the site of the Battle of Orange Walk.
