I am a proud Belizean and a professional tour guide. I have been guiding now for 15 years and I love what I do. In my years as a Tour Guide I've taken thousands of visitors to Belize on some of the most enlightening, entertaining and adventurous tours. We've done everything from admire panoramic views atop ancient Maya temples to tubing through some of the longest caves in the Mayan world. We've swam with sharks, flew with the birds and "danced with the deer". I truly do love my country Belize and would love to take you around showing you the sights, sounds and tastes that are apart of what has been appropriately termed "Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret". I look forward to meeting you --- PLEASE NOTE: While I do my best to ensure that my availability is up-to-date at all times, due to my heavy work load (especially during the peak travel season), my availability may be subject to change at very short notice. To avoid any disappointments, I ask that you send me a message with your preferred tour date and start times BEFORE you book and pay. Please click on the button labelled 'ASK A QUESTION' to send me a message and I will reply to you promptly. Thank you.

The true ancient name is unknown and "Altun Ha" is a Mayan translation of the nearby village named "Rockstone Pond.

Plaza A is a large grassy area, surrounded on all sides by pyramids and is adjoined by Plaza B which contains the largest structure on the site, the Temple of the Masonry Altars, which rises 54 ft. above the plaza. A hike to the top of the Temple of the Masonry Altars is rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the site and over the treetops of the jungle. This temple went through eight phases of construction and the round altar at the top is unique to this site. It was the focus of an unusual sacrificial ceremony in which copal (incense) and beautiful jade
