Ka'kabish

Ka’Kabish is an ancient Maya city in north-central Belize that was first identified by Dr. David Pendergast in the late 1980s while working at Lamanai as part of a ROM research project.  It is only 10 km inland from Lamanai, and research has revealed that the two sites had a long and complicated history.  While the site forms the focus of the Ka'kabish Archaeological Research Project (KARP), which was founded in 2007 by Dr. Haines, research has expanded to encompass settlement occupation between the two cities, in the "Ka'kabish-Lamanai Corridor" as part of a collaboration with Dr. Elizabeth Graham, UCL. 

For more information see our Site Summary page
Site reports are available for download on our  Reports page.

Although the land is currently privately owned by three different Belizean landowners, arrangements can be made to tour the site, and interested tourists are advised to ask around in Indian Church or at the Lamanai Outpost Lodge for knowledgeable guides.  It is not recommended that people tour the site themselves. ​
