They still don’t know what’s out in the jungle there. I went there three times and spent time on construction projects in the south of Belize wa-a-a-ay out in the boondocks. The jungle is so thick you can’t see another person five feet away in places. Last time there, they had just found some new complex out in the bush.
One thing for sure, they need more roads than the single highway bisecting Belize and plenty of fill for the malarial swamps.
I’ve met professors who have been excavating in the Belize boondocks for 20+ years, they are still finding untouched townships which once held over 1000+ people every excavation season, and have decades of work ahead of them.
From what I was told, since Bowen died in 2010 the country has gone into a free for all as players jostle to replace the Bowen family influence.
