Maya centers.
Altun Ha comprises temple and residential structures and has the "Jade Head", the largest carved Jade object in the Mayan area.
Altun Ha covers an area of 2.33 sq. kin. (1.5 sq. miles) including an extensive swamp north of the site. We weren't able to get round the whole site due to time unfortunately so these were the major things we saw.
We stayed at Radisson Fort George Hotel in Belize City which overlooks the caribbean sea and is close to town.

We didn?t go in straight away, but I did drop a big hint like, ?I want to go in there before we go home? to the family, so that they would not be surprised after the visit to the castle that we went in here.
After we had a lovely lunch in the café situated next door to the lodge after a amazing trip around the castle. We were all in high spirits and enjoying our food and refreshments, I dropped the bombshell that I wanted to see the house, they did try to dissuade me as they were now getting slightly tired and wanted to do a little retail ...
