  • First, we drive passes thru rural villages, grassland savannah, mangrove forest and the Rain Forest, arriving at the Maya Pyramids of Altun Ha. Walking to this first Plaza we see and share information of the findings of the archaeological excavations that occurred during 1964 to 1974 Field seasons. The tour continues to the second plaza featuring the residential area where excavations found skeleton remains in the rooms and artefacts such as polychrome vessels.

    Then the highlight of the day, approaching the Sun Temple with mask of gods and at the summit the pyramid is the sacrificial altar. the guide shares more information of the vast wealth of findings found inside this structure including our most precious stone the Jade Head, the largest carved object found in the Maya world.

    Next, we board our air-conditioned vehicle making our way across to Cucumber (or Kucumber) Beach, a one-of-a-kind beach and entertainment complex on the Island. This spectacular location has an abundance of sun loungers' chairs, tables and straw umbrellas with a restaurant/bar on site. Why not plunge down the giant water slide, have fun on the water inflatables, take a refreshing swim in the clear blue waters. Or simply lay back on a comfy sun lounger and relax in the sun after your amazing adventurous day.
