The event, which took place at the Mayan ruins of Cahal Pech near the town of San Ignacio in Belize's Cayo District, celebrated the best of Belizean culture.
The couple started the third date of their trip by learning about the history of the ancient Mayan archaeological site of Caracol, which is located in the Chiquibul Forest, and then went to see the country's tallest man-made structure known as the "sky palace".
The 3,000-year-old temple, built by the Maya civilization, stood in the heart of a city that housed an estimated 150,000 people and was occupied as early as 1200 BC. The royal couple climbed to the top of the palace, which is hidden deep in the jungle near the Guatemala border in western Belize, and were shown ancient Maya sculptures by Allan Moore, associate director of Belize's Institute of Archaeology.
