Tour Highlights
Located 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Belize City, Altun Ha, Mayan for rock stone water, was once one of the wealthiest Mayan empires in the Americas. Famous for its Jade Head, Altun Ha boasts two plazas and thirteen structures. Here, the rich tombs are further indications that the elite enjoyed an exotic life.
Apart from the magnificent structures, Altun Ha adds to its rapport with a lush rainforest reserve known as Altun Ha Nature Reserve. Here, Armadillos, agoutis, foxes, and even an occasional deer can be spotted. In this reserve, there is a man-made pond that was made by the Mayas as a source of fresh water. Large crocodiles still call this pond home.
This site dates back to around 200BC. Construction at Altun Ha lasted to around AD 900.
The erections of these magnificent temples are a strong indication that this population was large and sophisticated.
