DESCRIPTIONS:
ALTUN HA MAYAN SITE
ALTUN HA “WATER OF THE ROCK” As the archaeological record proves, Belize was near the center of ancient Mayan civilization. More than 2000 years ago, the Maya began to build magnificent cities and ceremonial centers in the region. Altun Ha, erected during the Classic Period (200-1000 AD), is the only Maya ruin located in the Belize District. Once a splendid city spanning nearly 5 square miles, Altun Ha was until recently completely overgrown by jungle vegetation. As is the case elsewhere in Central America, historians and archaeologists are only beginning to uncover evidence of the remarkable achievements of the Maya. Mayan breakthroughs in math and science are gradually being documented. The Mayan alphabet (one of only a handful of complete writing system in human history) required nearly a century of scholarly work before linguists were able to decipher its meaning.
In the Mayan world, Altun Ha served as an important trading hub and connection to the Caribbean Sea, which is located seven miles away. The city was also a major religious ceremonial center and is believed to have housed more than 10,000 people. The complex contains more than 275 structures, and at least 250 mounds have yet to be excavated. Visitors have the opportunity to walk within two plazas and climb up the tallest temple in Plaza B where inside one of the tombs was found the largest carved jade artifact in the world of the Maya. Belize’s most prized possession, the jade head is dedicated to the Sun God Kinich Ah.
Frequency: every day
Duration: 8:30AM – 12:00PM / 1:30PM – 5:00PM
CAVE TUBING
We highly recommend Cave Tubing at the Caves Branch Outpost. The Caves Branch River is a winding waterway through the caves once inhabited by the ancient Maya, giving you a sneak peek into their historical homes. The Maya used caves as ceremonial sites and evidence of these activities can be seen. This is a very fun activity to do as an individual or with a group. Embark on a one hour drive to Caves Branch Outpost where your adventure will begin. The Caves Branch River is a winding waterway through the caves once inhabited by the ancient Maya. The Cave Tubing adventure starts with a jungle trail hike to the entrance tunnel that heads in to the underground cave system. Your guide hands out headlamps and you will float in inflated inner tubes assisted by gentle currents taking you through the cave system. Intricate crystalline formations line the caves with stalagmites and stalactites.
Cave Tubing is scheduled for Friday afternoon

BELIZE ZOO TOUR
The Belize Zoo and tropical Education Center gives you a unique opportunity to view Belize's prolific wildlife in one location. It is home to over 150 animals representing over 45 species including an impressive array of large cats, primates, reptiles and birds who reside in a natural setting.

BELIZE ZIPRIDER
What could be more fun than ziplining through the Belize rainforest: The 6 zipline course ranges in length from 200' to 600" between treetop platforms secured in the canopy of tropical hardwood trees. Intriguing karst limestone cliffs provide a scenic backdrop as you zip through the rainforest canopy. This zipline course is truly unforgettable and second to none in Central America.
Ziplining is scheduled for Friday afternoon.
