The Deer Dance
The Mayan Deer Dance accompanied by the marimba is a vibrant Belizean tradition featuring 25 performers portraying deer, jaguars, monkeys and Spaniards through music and storytelling. Revived by Maya communities with government support, it showcases cultural resilience, spirituality, and Belize’s deep connection to nature and heritage.
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave
Belize, home to an extensive network of caves, offers a window into ancient Maya rituals. The Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave, named the #1 Sacred Cave by National Geographic, holds the famous "Crystal Maiden”, a well-preserved human skeleton, alongside pottery and ceremonial artifacts.
The Jankunu Dance
Jankunu Dance, also known as John Canoe, is a powerful Garifuna tradition from southern Belize. Rooted in African secret societies, it combines music, dance, and cultural symbolism, performed by men in colonial garb to mock English slave masters, showcasing male resilience and resistance.
