Altun Ha

Super fascinating to see all the history. Located about an hour from Belize City, makes it easy to go us for a quick tour. You can buy your tickets right there when you arrive and choose to take a guided tour or just walk through the ruins on your own. I recommend going in the morning. The buses were really coming in around 11 which filled everything up. The tickets include access to a small museum. There are lots of shops for your souvenirs and even restaurants if you’re hungry. It’s worth your visit.

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.

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.

Gilroy was our guide, very knowledgeable and soft spoken, allowed us to ask questions. Amil was our driver and he was the best

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.

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.

Awesome place, very hot when we were there in May. Love that you can climb up to the top.

It's a little ways away from where we stayed, but it was worth the trip. The tour guide was a new junior tour guide; she was very knowledgeable and laid back. Before doing your tour, make sure you stop at the restaurant located in the same lot. We got fried chicken, beans, and rice, and everyone agrees it's still the best rice and beans we had, and the chicken was soooo good and seasoned!!! They had music going; it was really a whole vibe. I'm dogging my food and make eye contact with the owner. I'm like, "Yes, mama, you put your foot in this! You did your thang for sure!" She smiles and says, "I wouldn't serve you something I wouldn't eat." She was so sweet. We spent some time taking shots, and my brother's partner got his hair braided, and the people were super nice and super humble. I love that in a restaurant owner. We will be back. Oh, and they got that mama juana 🦾😅🤣. Great place! 10/10, do recommend.
