High Temple

data access 101481

The High Temple at Lamanai in Belize stands 33 meters tall and dates back over 2,000 years, making it one of the site’s oldest structures. It served as a ceremonial platform for religious gatherings. While once climbable, access is now restricted due to a serious accident. From its summit, visitors could see over the jungle canopy and the New River Lagoon1.
