ALTUN HA GUIDED TOUR

TEMPLE OF MASONRY ALTERS AT ALTUN HA MAYA SITE

This Maya site is the nearest to Belize City at about 31 miles away. Archeologists excavated and restored this site extensively between 1964 and 1978 to discover that it was a major trading center between the Caribbean and the Interior with two main plazas consisting of thirteen temples arranged in a pleasant park like atmosphere. The largest structure is the best preserved and known as B-4 or Temple of the Masonry Alters where the largest jade carvings of the Maya Civilization were discovered. The site also features discoveries of many tombs, ancient burial paraphernalia of the Maya, and carved obsidian blades traceable directly to Teotihuacan in central Mexico. Strangely, no carved stelae were ever located at this significant site.
