Altun Ha Tours
 |  |  |
Altun Ha Mayan Ruins is the name given ruins of an ancient Maya city in Belize, located in the Belize District about 30 miles (50 km) north of Belize City and about 6 miles (10 km) west of the shore of the Caribbean Sea.
"Altun Ha Mayan Ruins" is a modern name in the Mayan language, coined by translating the name of the nearby village of Rockstone Pond. The ancient name is at present unknown.
The largest of Altun Ha's temple-pyramids, the "Temple of the Masonry Altars", is 54 feet (16 m) high. A drawing of this structure is the logo of Belize's leading brand of beer, "Belikin".
The site covers an area of about 5 miles (8 km) square. The central square mile of the site has remains of some 500 structures.
Archeological investigations show that Altun Ha Mayan Ruins were occupied by 200 BC. The bulk of construction was from the Maya Classic era, c. 200 to 900 AD, when the site may have had a population of about 10,000 people. About 900 there was some looting of elite tombs of the site, which some think is suggestive of a revolt against the site's rulers. The site remained populated for about another century after that, but with no new major ceremonial or elite architecture built during that time. After this the population dwindled, with a moderate surge of reoccupation in the 12th century before declining again to a small agricultural village. The ruins of the ancient structures had their stones reused for residential construction of the agricultural village of Rockstone Pond in modern times, but the ancient site did not come to the attention of archeologists until 1963, when the existence of a sizable ancient site was recognized from the air by pilot and amateur Mayanist Hal Ball.
Starting in 1965 an archeological team lead by Dr. David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum began extensive excavations and restorations of the site, which continued through 1970. Among the discoveries is a large (almost 10 pounds, or 5 kilograms) piece of jade elaborately carved into an image of the head of the Mayan sun god, Kinich Ahau. This jade head is considered one of the national treasures of Belize.

Lamanai Mayan Ruins Belize
Looming over the west bank of the New River Lagoon, Lamana Mayan Ruins, or "submerged crocodile," is off the beaten track-perhaps the reason why it thrived for over 3000 years. The city of Lamanai Mayan Ruins began its regional supremacy around 1500 B.C. Extending from the formative years of the Mayan world to the preaching friars of Spanish colonists, Lamanai Mayan Ruins flourished and supported a vast community of farmers, merchants, and traders.
Belize Jungle Tumble Adventure
To do any of the Jungle Tumble trips, when the guests arrive, they must remove all jewelry, watches and another sharp objects that we will keep in a locked strong box for them and its safe. All shoes MUST be removed at the time the guest climbs into the Ball. We will deliver them to the guest when he exits the ball after his or her trip where they can put them on and not get their feet dirty. To ride the dry ball, guests are strapped into a seat and rolled down the hill. One or two people can ride at the same time. To ride the wet ball, no long pants or shoes are allowed. It is necessary to ride the ball in a bathing suit or shorts and short sleeved shirt since we throw a 5 gallon bucket of water inside the ball along with the riders. Long pants and lots of clothing will prevent the rider from sliding around inside the ball as intended. Instead of rolling over and over as with the dry ball, people in the water balls slide around in the water as they roll down the hill. Both trips are completely different experiences.
