Just imagine 3,000 years ago on this plaza, people would be gathered listening to their priests telling them the message that was brought down from the gods.
This site was ruled by priests as opposed to kings. So that's what makes this little site unique.
When guests come here to Altonha, the first plaza that they step on, it was a ceremonial place.
It is a very powerful feeling being here.

http://www.ncl.com/excursions/search?Ntt=BZE02 This fascinating tour focuses on the contrast between the ancient Mayan city of Altun Ha and modern day Belize City, highlighting 1,000 years of development within this former British Colony. Altun Ha (Mayan for 'Rock Stone Water') thrived as a trading post to the Mayan world during the Classic and Post Classic periods. The site was made world-famous by Dr. David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum upon his discovery of the world's largest carved Jade Head, depicting the sun god Kinich Ahau. Note: The Belize City tour portion is conducted on a bus without stops. https://www.ncl.com/cruise-destinations/caribbean-cruises
