Grupo Mayan Carnival Fest

Many Grupo Mayan vacationers are aware that in a number of cases it is the voyage which is frequently as appealing as the final destination. While rumbling the length of Belize´s Old Northern Highway consisting of  more potholes then it does pavement the grupomayan tourist is extended the opportunity to vew several of the smaller hamlets and their friendly and smiling inhabitants eagerly waving as they pass by. There is little traffic to contend for your attention, so a brief stop to observe the countryside scenery and the feathered wildlife is certainly in order. It is not unusual to catch a glipse of a deer leaping into a nearby shrub or to gaze at other small creature out foraging for food.Upong departing the outer edges of Belize, which resides in the south half of the Yucatan Peninsula along the Caribbean coastline, the grupomayan guest begins to recognize that this region was part of the Mayan Empire.Withing these 30 miles the Grupo Mayan guest discovers the ancient site of Altun Ha, where there has been several pyramids excavated and restored however there is a great deal of this city that currently remains romantically and mysteriously entwined within the local jungle. Affluent and prospering throughout the Maya civilization´s Classic Period, Altun Ha´s ancient name remains unknown, however “Altun Ha” translates from early Mayan to “Rockstone Pond”. Although Altun Ha may be samll when equated to many of the other Mayan ruins found within the locality, Grupo Mayan visitors quickly note the restorations which have been accomplished creates an imaginable glimpse of its past glory and value as a Mayan ceremonial center. Plaza A consists of a vast grassy area, which is surrounded by pyramids on all its sides and is next to Plaza B that maintains the most prevalent structure, the Masonry Altars Temple that majestically rises 54 feet high.As the Grupo Mayan guest makes their way to the apex of this pyramid, they are suitably rewarded with one of the most splendid panoramic sights to be had in the ruins as well as the nearby jungle treetops. It took eight different phases of restoration to bring the temple to its current level of completion, as the round altar at the peak is unique for this site only.
