The Duke and
The Duke and have learnt tropical forest survival tips in the Belizian jungle on the third day of their Caribbean tour – building their own shelter and drinking water from vines.
The couple also visited the iconic Mayan archaeological site of Caracol, climbing to the ancient palace’s summit.
William and Kate began the third date of their trip learning about the history of the site, located in the Chiquibul Forest, and took in the country’s tallest man-made structure – known as the ‘sky palace’.
The 3,000-year-old temple, built by the Maya civilisation, stood at the centre of a city – home to an estimated 150,000 people and is believed to have been occupied as early as 1200 BC.
The royal couple climbed to the top of the palace, which is hidden deep in the jungle in western Belize, close to the Guatemala border and were shown ancient Maya sculptures by the associate director of Belize’s Institute of Archaeology, Allan Moore.
Mr Moore showed William and Kate around the site which featured other buildings and was amazingly discovered in the 1930s by a logger looking for mahogany.
He told them: ‘It’s like looking at the inside of Buckingham Palace. This is just a small fraction of what we have here.’
During their tour, Mr Moore showed the couple some ancient carvings with the couple pointing out lizards, fish nibbling on water lilies and a feline shape which he explained could have been a jaguar. He also walked them round to an area where the ancient Maya used to play ball games.
Kate donned a simple white t-shirt and a pair of G-star Raw khaki high-waisted cargo pants, which retail for £70 on the high-street, whilst William opted for a shirt, trousers and sturdy boots.
The duchess also partnered her look with a black belt, white Superga trainers, a simple pair of gold-plated hoops by Spells of Love and she also accessorised the ensemble with a pair of Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic sunglasses, which she matched with her husband.
