Discover the splendors of the ancient Mayan civilization on this captivating Altun Ha Maya Ruins Shore Excursion, the perfect outing for families and friends stepping ashore in Belize for a day!
Kick-off the journey to a bygone era as we sail through the Caribbean’s vivid blues and disembark at the buzzing Belize City port. Our expert guide will welcome you with a warm Belizean smile, quickly whisking you away on a comfortable, air-conditioned coach through the lush landscapes of Belize.
The adventure begin as we journey into the dense tropical jungle, winding along roads framed by overhanging emerald-green canopies. Peek out the window and spot playful monkeys, green iguanas, and—if you’re lucky—maybe even pecary!
In about an hour, we’ll reach our destination, the glorious Altun Ha Maya Ruins. Greeted by the haunting calls of howler monkeys, you’ll feel an electric charge in the air, the echo of a time when these stones told a different story—a story of gods, of kings, and of an empire that once dominated Central America.
Your guide, an expert in Mayan history and Belizean lore will lead you through the complex painting a vivid picture of the past as you tour the ruins. As you stand before the Temple of the Masonry Altars, the site’s largest and most significant structure feel the same awe that generations of Mayans once did. Let the kids (and the kids at heart) run their hands over the stone carvings, their fingers tracing a history thousands of years old.
Marvel at the Sun God’s Tomb, as your guide spins enthralling tales of royal ceremonies, sacrifices, and the treasures that lay buried beneath the layers of stone and earth. Get a chance to see a replica of the famous Jade Head, a representation of the Mayan Sun God, one of the largest carved jade objects from the Mayan era.
As the day comes to a close, we’ll return to the modern world. We understand all that adventuring can work up quite an appetite! That’s why we include a delicious Belizean meal—think mouth-watering chicken stew with coconut-infused rice and beans—at a local restaurant, packed with the flavors of Belize.
Before we wave goodbye at the Belize City port, we’ll make a brief stop at a local handicraft market. This is your chance to pick up unique souvenirs and gifts, such as handmade Mayan crafts or Belize’s famous chocolates and spices.
