Lubaantun - "Place of Fallen Stones"
:
Lubaantun, situated above a tributary to the Columbia River,
is located near San Pedro-Columbia in the Toledo District.
Since there is no public transportation to the ruin, you
must make arrangements in Punta Gorda Town, if you wish
to visit the site.
Built in the Late Classic period, Lubaantun is the largest
ceremonial center in the area. Consisting of eleven major
structures, grouped around five main plazas, the ruin is
unique in that it was built entirely without the aid of
mortar. Each stone was carefully measured and cut to fit
with its adjoining stone.
