The Mayan Ruins of Altun Ha & Belize City - Child

This journey will take you to three plazas and thirteen structures that mark the epicenter of this very important ceremonial site of the ancient Mayan civilization.

Only seven miles away from the sea and surrounded by primary broadleaf rainforest is Altun Ha, which also served as a trade center.

This site captured world attention when Professor David Pendergast, of the Royal Ontario museum, discovered the now famous nine and a half pound jade head of the sun god Kinich Ahau. The discovery was made in the tomb of a Royal Priest within the main temple of the masonry altars.

Prepared stone steps allow visitors to climb atop three of the main temples on the site in order to capture the beautiful views of the scenic countryside.

You will also enjoy a short tour of Belize City, the largest city in the district, which is also the commercial capital of Belize.
