Located
31 miles (50 kilometers) from Belize City, Altun Ha, Mayan
for rock stone, was once one of the wealthiest Mayan Empire
in the Americas. Famous for its Jade Head, Altun Ha boast
two plazas and thirteen structures. Here, the rich tombs
are further indication that the elite enjoyed an exotic life.
Apart from the magnificent structures, Altun Ha adds to
it rapport a lush rain forest reserve known as Altun Ha Nature
Reserve. Here, Armadillos, agoutis, foxes and even an occasional
deer can be spotted. In this reserve there is a man made
pond that was made by the Mayas as a source of fresh water.
Large crocodiles still call this pond home.
This site dates back to around 200BC. Construction at Altun
Ha lasted to around AD 250.
The erections of these magnificent temples are strong indication
that this population was large and sophisticated.
