A mix of Maya, Mestizo and Mexican influences, as well as a growing community of expats, contribute to the cultural diversity of present day Corozal Town. Every day hundreds of people and tens of thousands of dollars in goods cross the tow-lane bridge spanning the Rio Hondo River, which forms the Belize-Mexico border. The border town of Corozal built up around the archaeological site of Santa Rita, although only one structure has survived to tell the tale. Another major Maya attractions is Cerros, which once linked cities on the Yucatan Peninisula with those in present day Belize.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n <\/span>\r\n\r\n
