The Maya Mountains are in Belize and Guatemala. They are a large uplifted block of intrusive Paleozoic granite and sediment. The granite comes from liquid rock under the Earth's surface that was pushed up over millions of years and cooled into granite, a process that occurred several hundred million years ago.
