Whether or not they know the archeologists’ name for it, everyone in Belize recognizes the Temple of Masonry Altars at Altun Ha. The image is on the paper money, school textbooks, and perhaps even most importantly for some, it was chosen for the logo of the national beer, Belikin.

The ancient Maya site is the centerpiece of northern Belize District, a clas­si­cal­ly Caribbean landscape of rich, humid, rain-soaked lowlands. The vil­lag­es here are tiny, usually no more than a few brightly painted wooden houses on stilts clustered along a small roadway, perhaps with a tin-roofed church from which the sound of hymns will drift on a Sunday morning. But al­though the atmosphere is languid, even sop­o­rif­ic, this site is a popular excursion for visitors, because it is easily reached by car from Belize City.
