  Very well preserved Mayan city. We visited on ac cruise excursion, and it was not overcrowded even with multiple tours going on. Our guide led us around the area explaining the purpose for each temple and giving us an idea of what life was like here. You are able to climb to the top of several of the pyramids. We climbed up the Temple of Sun God, which was the tallest. The stairs are very steep, and it was raining while we were there so the stone was slippery, but the climb was well worth the views. Altún Ha is the closest Mayan ruins to the Belize City cruise port, so I highly recommend if you are wanting a quicker excursion.

  I always love visiting Mayan ruins. Although they are not on the scale of Chichen Itza, they are quite interesting. There is a museum adjacent to the ruins with a replica of the largest piece of jade ever found in Mayan Ruins, a jade head that was found at Altun Ha.

  This place blew my mind. It was deeply meaningful for me. What made it for me was my type guide, George. I plan on returning and I'm only using George as guide. So knowledgeable and was so real, like we were friends for years. Very rare connection.

  An amazing look into the lives of the Mayans. There is quite a large amount excavated here, with who knows how many thousands of other structures just waiting to be dug up. Unfortunately, the Belize government has no funding for further excavations, according to my tour guide. There is a very small museum here, but it’s just one room with a coupe of informative plaques and a few weapons and decorations they have discovered. You are able to walk on top of three of the structures and get an amazing view of the entire valley. Be sure to stop by the shops next to the parking lot and support the locals. Try a Belizian Coca-Cola made with brown sugar.

  This was my first ever Mayan ruins visit and I didn't know what to expect. When you first walk onto the site, it's a breath taking view of ancient culture and architecture. I really enjoyed the visit and highly recommend it. It's very easy to access, you can climb up two of the monuments, and it's exceptionally well kept.
