Caracol Archaeological Site is a remote area located about 2½ hours west of the Belize International Airport and then 50 miles south of the Western Highway in the southern part of Cayo District in Belize. The last 30 miles of road south of Augustine (now Douglas DeSilva) was once extremely rough track requiring 4-wheel drive vehicles. However, the road has been greatly improved and is now partly well-graded gravel and partly asphalt.
