The caretaker of Altun Ha relaxes under a tree as his horse feeds on grass along with his symbiotic friends, two white birds on either side...they must be after horse flies...

Take the Northern Highway out of Belize City. About 20 miles out, you will see a turn-off to the east, with a sign reading "Altun Ha." Twelve miles later, there is a road to the west, also with signs, travel about two miles further to the ruins.
