History of Altun Ha

Cave_Tubing_Belize_Altun_HaAltun Ha was occupied at its peak during the Classic Period approximately 900BC to 1000AD. It is one of the longest-occupied sites dating from the Pre-Classic period all through the Late Classic Period.

These centuries of occupation at Altun Ha left many Mayan artefacts as glimpses into the lives of the ancient Maya. Altun Ha features over 500 mounds with about  15 of those having been excavated.

Led by Dr. David Pendergast archaeologists conducted extensive research during the 1960s and 1970s.  A fascinating discovery was made! Buried in the temple of  Kinich Ahau – the revered sun god of the Maya – the largest carved jade object of the Maya world was unearthed.

This archaeological reserve consists of a network of limestone caves which in fact is the largest in all of Central America!  Cave Tubing Belize is named one of the top 10 things to do!

Geological research indicates that the cave was formed over several hundred thousand years. This region of Belize features a tropical Karst landscape which led to the formations we see today. Archaeologists concur that the ancient Maya utilized the site for important rituals.

“Today’s modern visitor enjoys a unique opportunity to observe the awesome geological features of the site, and to ponder the nature of prehistoric human utilization.”

Zip Line is a thrill – imagine zipping through the trees from platform to platform surrounded by the Belize jungle!  Start with the Chicken Run – just in case you want to chicken out while you still can! From there it’s an amazing experience to remember!
