Cerros Maya Archaeological Reserve Description
The Cerros Maya Archaeological Reserve is situated on a peninsula overlooking Chetumal Bay. Cerros Maya ("Maya Hills") was an important Mayan trading center founded c400 BC. The city flourished during the Late Pre-Classic period because of its proximity to the New River and acted as a gateway into other Mayan settlements.

Cerros is dominated by three acropolises, though the site is mostly a mass of grass-covered mounds. Cerros sits on top of a hill and offers an attractive panoramic view of the surrounding areas. Cerros' tallest structure is a 65ft/20m-high temple (Structure 4) that can be climbed by visitors. Another interesting feature of the site are the canals around Cerros that have remained clear of vegetation
