For Earth Day this year, we embarked on an exciting adventure to explore the ancient Mayan ruins of Caracol. It's been quite a journey getting here, both literally and figuratively. Our first attempt in 2018 was foiled by a sudden rainstorm that washed out the roads right before our eyes. But this year, luck was on our side as the weather cooperated and we braved the 25+ mile rocky, winding road south from the town of Santa Elena. Located within the Cayo District of Belize, Caracol is an awe-inspiring testament to the rich history and advanced civilization of the Maya people. Covering a massive area of approximately 200 square kilometers, it's even larger than present-day Belize City. The name Caracol comes from the Spanish word for snail or shell, possibly inspired by the winding access road that leads to this remarkable site. One of the highlights of Caracol is the majestic Caana, which means Sky Palace in Maya. This towering pyramid rises over 140 feet (43 meters) above the surrounding jungle canopy, making it one of the tallest man-made structures in Belize. Climbing Caana offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Maya Mountains and the distant peaks of Guatemala.

The Sky Was Pink: Spectacular Sunrise Over the Lincoln Group In this breathtaking view, you can see Mount Bross and Mount Democrat, as well as the ridge from Democrat to other peaks in the Mosquito Range. The ridge sits directly above Kite Lake, where the standard trailhead to summit these peaks lies. This image was shot leaving early to hit the slopes at Monarch Mountain on Saturday morning. #Sky #Tranquility #TranquilScene #Cloud #Winter #Nature #ScenicsNature #ColdTemperature https://www.instagram.com/p/CokqqnovJ7M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“A personal journey of rediscovering the cliffs of Cabo Rojo and the beauty of its landscape 25 years later”   As a landscape photographer, I’m drawn to the beauty of nature and the places that capture that beauty in unique ways. Cabo Rojo on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico is undeniably one of those places. I first visited this enchanting area 25 years ago and it’s the location I consider shooting my first landscape photograph. Shot on film, printed and framed, it has been on display in my home ever since. My first landscape photo! When the opportunity to return to PR for the new year arose, I knew I had to go back to shoot the Cabo Rojo Cliffs again.  Tap the LInk In Bio continue reading on my blog! https://www.alanstenbackphotography.us/blog/b/Rediscovering-Puerto-Ricos-Cabo-Rojo-25-Years-Later #Coast #TranquilScene #Travel #Ocean #Nature #Seascape #Landscape #CaboRojo #PuertoRico #CaribbeanSea #Wave #Sky #Bay #Sea #Togetherness #ScenicsNature #Beach https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnf0C8arEnG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
