      Description

      Join a journey back in time to explore the historic Altun Ha Mayan ruins tour and sights of Belize City. Altun Ha was a significant trading post and city of the Mayan civilization, featuring well-preserved ceremonial structures that offer a glimpse into this ancient culture. After the ruins, you'll get to enjoy a traditional Belizean lunch as well as a tour of Belize City's historical highlights before returning to your ship or hotel.

      Your 5-hour tour begins with a pick-up from Belize City port or hotel, followed by a scenic 45-60 minute drive north into the jungle. Upon arrival at Altun Ha, your expert guide will lead you through the partially restored site, providing detailed information about each structure's purpose and its connections to other influential Mayan sites, including the mighty Teotihuacan in Mexico. While exploring, keep an eye out for the many resident iguanas basking in the sun.

      Discover two large plazas and climb to the top of the site's pyramid - a rare privilege at most Mayan ruins - to admire stunning views and imagine what life was like during the height of the Mayan civilization.

      After a fascinating exploration of Belize's Mayan history, return to Belize City, where you can continue to explore. Visit top sights and historical structures around Belize City as your knowledgeable guide takes you to the must-see destinations before returning to your port or hotel.
