Altun Ha, the site of an ancient Mayan city, sprawls across approximately 3 square miles of Belizean countryside near Belize City. The central area is dotted with over 500 historic structures, primarily constructed during the Maya Classic era (AD 200 to 900). Visitors can join private or group tours to explore the remnants and learn about the lives of the city’s 10,000 inhabitants. The ruins offer a glimpse into the architectural and cultural achievements of this once-thriving civilization, set against the lush backdrop of the surrounding landscape.
