Archaeotours are envisioned by Dr. Rafael Guerra as a way to enhance the visitor’s experience beyond the mainstream tour information. Dr. Guerra is the only tour guide who is also a professional archaeologist. This tour offers a chance to engage with a local archaeologist who has extensive research and exploration experience at Belizean archaeological sites, and learn more about the archaeological processes of archaeological knowledge building. Dr. Guerra started his archaeological career at Actun Tunichil Muknal in 1998 with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project directed by Jaime Awe. In 2001, he joined the Belize Tourism Development Project (TDP) that was developing several major sites in Belize. Late in 2005, he joined the Belize Institute of Archaeology, where he helped develop a multivariate database for Belize’s Archaeological sites. In 2021, he completed his Ph.D. in Anthropology, focusing on the Maya of Belize at the University of New Mexico
