Belize

This is the ideal experience for the adventurer and the nature lover. Guests first get their feet wet in the Cayo District, where they discover stunning Mayan ruins and venture into Belize´s mysterious Mayan caves. The journey continues deep into the jungle where guests may see monkeys, tapirs, crocodiles, hundreds of birds, and perhaps even the very elusive jaguar. Finally, guests reach the Toledo area where they may choose to partake in community, archaeology, or wildlife tours.

Day 1 – Cayo District

Arriving in Belize at the international airport your driver will meet you and transfer you into the rainforest to your hotel/lodge.

Day 2 – Caracol Mayan Ruins & Río Frío Caves and Pools

For this tour, we will drive to the beautiful Maya site of Caracol (Snail). Caracol is the largest site in Belize, covering 30 square miles of the jungle canopy. This colossal site includes five plazas, an astronomic observatory, and over 35,000 buildings that have been identified. The loftiest among them, a massive pyramid called Cana, capped by three temples, rises more than 140 feet above the jungle floor.

After touring the site with picnic lunch included we return to the hotel. On the way back we can stop and explore the Río-On Pools and Río Frío Caves if we wish to do so.

Day 3 – Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Adventure

Actun Tunichil Muknal's "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" is one of the most impressive caves in the Maya lowland. Located in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest, this cave was a sacred place to the prehistoric Maya of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early classic period (300-600AD).

The cave system consists of a series of chambers, ending in a 300 by 50-meter Cathedral where sacrificial ceremonies once took place. Visitors to this cave have the opportunity to travel into the Maya past and witness a living museum where the human sacrifices and artifacts can be viewed in their original context.

On the tour guests will drive to the trailhead and trek for 45 minutes through dense Jungle in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, wading across three streams and learning about the plants and animals of the Jungle. At the entrance of the Cave guests are outfitted with the necessary equipment.

Some swimming will be required and also climbing and caving activity. Guests will spend 3 hours in the cave after which they may also visit a nearby dry cave to see ancient inscriptions and handprints of which the origins are unknown. This is a first-class caving and archaeological experience.
