Maya Ruins in Belize

               Belize is known for some of its best ruins. Altun Ha in Northern Belize is a small yet well preserved site featuring

two large central plazas surrounded by mid-sized pyramids and mounds. At the Altun Ha, many have found jade,

pearl and obsidian artifacts, and the largest carved jade piece from the Mayan era, was recovered here, the

sculpture of the Mayan sun god, Kinich Ahau. Another great ruin to visit is the Tikal. Tikal is the grandest of the

surviving classic Mayan cities. Tikal is home to the most perfect ceremonial architectures in the Mayan world.

Here you will find pyramids, and several temples that poke through the dense rainforest. Lamanai, El, Pilar, and

Caracol are some other great ruins and places to visit when on Belize. Belize is not known to have many places

that are unique so take advantage of these; they will sure spark your interest!
