Altun Ha Belize Mayan Temple
Belize offers exemplary Mayan Ruins,
these ancient Mayan Temples were once Cities, Towns, Religious
Temples and major trade posts for the ancient Mayan
civilization. Once hidden in thick jungle the Mayan
Temples of Belize have since been restored to their original
splendor, one cannot help but feel the ever-present Mayan Spirit
when visiting these spectacular sites.
Altun Ha is a clear example of the
Mayan
architectural accomplishments well over 2000 years ago.
Altun Ha is one of the most famous Mayan Centers, founded around
600bc, perhaps a few centuries earlier, the Mayan Center was
undoubtedly one of the smallest but extremely important Trading
Post for the Mayan Civilization at the time. Altun Ha is located close to the
Belize City Port, a short 1hr drive from the Cruise Ship
Terminal. The Temples and manicured grounds at Altun Ha
make a visit to this magnificent ancient City a fantastic family
oriented activity. You will not find steep hills or sudden
drop-offs, instead you will walk over smooth, well kept grass,
you will be able to simply admire all the structures or walk to
the top of some of the most majestic Mayan Temples to be found
in Central America.
Our Licensed Guides will meet you right
at the Belize City Port, inside the Cruise Ship Arrival Area, a
few steps from your tender. All of our guides are licensed
by the Belize Department of Tourism and will personally drive
