Belize/Guatemala Surf & Turf Jungle Adventure!

After flying down to the tropics, your guides will meet you and for 2 weeks, we will give you an up-close and personal tour of Belize & Guatemala. We'll be visiting the famous Mayan Temples including Lubantuun, Nim Lim Punit, Xunnitunich, Cahal Pech & Caracoal (and possible more!), tour underground caves, spend a few nights in a Mayan Homestay, hike/camp in the jungles and see the cities of Belize including Punta Gorda, Planencia, San Ignacio, Caye Caulker, and more!

In Guatamala, we'll experience the colors of Livingston, and take a boat ride up the Rio Dulce to Fronteras and then bus over to Puerto Barrios for a shopping experience at the famous market and then hop a boat back to Punta Gorda.

You'll get to snorkel, fish, and swim in the Bay of Honduras, travel by bus throughout the country, trek in the Jaguar Cockscomb Basic Preserve, see the Belize Zoo and the Howler Monkeys at the Baboon Sanctuary. This Adventure is an excellent way to see first hand this wonderful country and get to know it's people in a way that you just cant get from a travel guidebook.
