Altun Ha is the name given to the ruins of an ancient Maya city on Belize’s mainland just six miles from the shores of the Caribbean Sea. The largest of the site’s pyramids is the Temple of Masonry Altars, which is 52 feet high and an easy hike. The area around Altun Ha is rich in wildlife including armadillos, bats, squirrels, agouti, paca, foxes, raccoons, coati, tyra, tapir and the white-tailed deer. Two hundred species of birds have been recorded and there are large crocodiles that inhabit the Maya-made water reservoir. This Maya site is notable due to the presence of a large water reservoir called “Rockstone Pond”. 

This tour can easily be paired with the Belize Zoo, zip lining, or horseback riding, among others. Due to its convenient location near Belize City, it’s also possible to discover this ruin and make your afternoon flight at Belize International Airport!
