A Tale of Two Cities
Price: From 64.91 US$, per person
Duration: 4 hours
A mixture of old, new, and the many things in between can be found on this half day tour. From the mystic Mayans to the resurgence of modern Central America, a lot has happened on this piece of ground now called Belize City. More than 1,000 years of history lives here, we'll do our best to pack it all into a few hours.
This fascinating half-day tour will focus on the contrast between the ancient Maya city of Altun Ha and modern day Belize City, highlighting 1,000 years of development to this former British Colony. Altun Ha (Maya for Rock Stone Water) thrived as a trading post to the Maya World during the Post Classic and Classic periods.

Belize City today is home to about 35% of the country's population and remains the commercial capital of the country - the official capital was moved in 1971 to Belmopan in the interior.

Your tour will include historical sites such as the Redbrick St. John's Cathedral and the colonial mansion once occupied by British Governors. You will note the colonial wooden architecture of many of the houses throughout your tour.
