You step off the shuttle as broad palms lean like curious onlookers, the humid air carrying distant birdcalls and the sharp scent of limestone. The day begins at Altun Ha, where sun-bleached stone faces stare out over grassy plazas and the wind seems to press the past back into the present. Time here is physical — carved plazas, stairways, and stelae that point to a trading center active for centuries.
