Description:

Immerse yourself in the ancient Mayan culture at the historic Altun Ha ruins, and then venture to the modern Belize Zoo, home to over 145 species of animals, for an encounter with the region’s diverse array of wildlife.

From Belize City, ride along the Old Northern Highway and enjoy scenic views of the vast Caribbean Sea. Arrive at Altun Ha—this ancient name is Mayan for “rockstone water”—and explore vestiges of the ancient Mayan civilization, estimated to date back to 400 A.D. Learn about the Mayans' mystery-wreathed history and advanced culture as you explore the ruins of this one-time ceremonial site and trading center.

The adventure continues with a visit to the Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center, where you can observe a wide variety of wild animals living in their natural habitats. You can spot jaguars, rainforest mammals, Belizean snakes, tropical birds, and a variety of unique amphibians. Learn about the zoo animals that have been rescued from unsafe environments and what you can to do help Belize’s nature and wildlife conservation efforts before you return to your hotel.
