Doyle's Delight

Doyle's Delight is the highest peak in Belize at 3852 feet. It lies in the Cockscomb Range, a spur of the Maya Mountains in Western Belize. The name Doyle's Delight was first coined in by Sharon Matola in 1989 Report and based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book "The Lost World" (1912), which contains the quote "there must be something wild and wonderful in a country such as this, and we're the men to find it out!". This name has meanwhile achieved widespread acceptation. The official Government of Belize Website lists Doyle's Delight as the Highest Point for Belize and Belmopan. The capital of Belize has a "Doyle's Delight Street". Recently there has been an attempt to rename the peak to "Kaan Witz" which is Maya for "Sky Mountain". But is not official yet.
