1.Altun Ha Ruins

The Mayan people were the first people to live in what is now Belize. Around 250 B.C., they were the first people to live in the area now called Altun Ha. They left behind signs of a wealthy and fancy society. They were a people who studied math and the stars. These days, the Altun Ha Ruins take up about 25 square miles of land.

The site has temples and tombs that people can tour, including the well-known Temple of the Masonry Altars.

It’s hard to get to the sites, so most people who visit do so by cruise ship. People who want to visit the Altun Ha Ruins should bring a knowledgeable tour guide with them.

5.Laughingbird Caye National Park

Laughingbird Caye National Park is a long, thin island off the coast of Belize’s east coast. It has a “faro” or “shelf atoll,” which is an atoll with steep sides and a lake in the middle. This faro is surrounded on all sides by deep water canals. Because of these special traits, the Laughingbird Faro is a great place for marine life to live.

That’s why the caye was made a protected area in 1981: to protect the animals that live there. It is now a national park in Belize and gets a lot of tourists every year. From the nearby beach town of Palcencia, you can take a boat to get to Laughingbird Caye. Map

6.Xunantunich Maya Ruins

Xunantunich is a fairly new Mayan site that dates back to around 700 to 1000 A.D. In Mayan, the name means “Stone Woman.” A story in the area says that a beautiful, statuesque Mayan woman appears to tourists at the entrance to a cave and then vanishes.

Several times over the years, archaeologists have dug up the spot and found many valuable artifacts that were later lost. The Xunantunich Maya Ruins site is on top of a limestone ridge and has a big building that was used for many things and stucco friezes with carved symbols and elements. There is a tourist center on-site with pictures and maps of the ruins.

7.Caye Caulker

There is no clear reason for the name of this 5-square-mile island off the eastern coast of Belize. It could be a wrong way to say the island’s old name, “Caye Hicaco.” There is a small village on Caye Caulker that still follows the customs and culture of the first people who lived there. There are small, cozy hotels and other places to stay, and many companies are also small and locally owned.

There are many things to do on this island, such as shopping, eating, dancing, fishing, wind surfing, swimming, and watching birds. You can fly to the island or take a water cab from Belize City, which is on the mainland, to get there. Map
