Spanning a 25 square mile area roughly an hour from Belize City,
Altun Ha is made up of two central plazas surrounded by towering temples that enclose the palm strewn land (see map here).
The larger of the two plazas, Plaza A, is the site of a mysterious tomb discovered beneath one of the temples called Temple of the Green Tomb.
Jade, jewelry, flints and skins are among the three hundred remnants that were unearthed here.
