Top Belize Attractions
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!
