This spring my husband and I set off to explore Belize on our custom "Adventure's in Paradise" Tour. We began by relaxing on the beach in Ambergris. Then we were on to a luxurious stay at Hamanasi Dive Resort to swim with the sea creatures that abound. Finally we ended our Belize tour at Pooks Hill Jungle Lodge with excursions to the ATM Cave and the magical Mayan ruins that surround the area. All around it was a relaxing and beautiful trip to Belize with Adventure Life.

My awesome trip to Guatemala! Joe and I took this Guatemala tour because it was a place neither of us had visited in Latin America. I got to use my Spanish skills, hike a volcano, see Mayan ruins, and swim in one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen!

A wonderful time in Belize discovering the Blue Hole, Glovers Reef and South Reef as well as the jungle of the Jaguar Preserve and Mayflower Park. Tikal in Guatemala is the cherry on the sunday.

Our trip to tropical paradise - adventures in the thick jungles of Belize, exploration of the ancient cities of Guatemala, and lazy days in the sun at the Caribbean. Perfect!

December is the perfect time to visit Guatemala! It seemed that every day there was a celebration, a festival, or at least beautiful decorations to see! Guatemala was our trip of a lifetime!

An account of our family trip to Belize and Guatemala

Guatemala is rich in color and culture. The Branson Family had a great time exploring Guatemala on a travel circuit known as the Gringo tour.

On week in Guatemala, including tours to Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Volcano Pacaya, Tikal, and the hanging bridges near Flores.

Kristen, Myrtle & Art: All the places we stayed were wonderful, not only because of the comfortable rooms or quaint little huts, but because of all the natural beauty and friendly people. As we flew back home, we reflected on how much we had seen and learned. We all felt that we carried a part of Guatemala in our hearts, for we had fallen in love with the land and its people.

I organized this trip for the AAUW (American Association of University Women) San Juan Branch. Thanks to the economy's personal case of "swine flu" only 7 of us took the trip. Guatemala is a beautiful country!

When our friends heard we were planning to vacation in Guatemala, they advised us to reconsider, citing warnings from the State Department and US Embassy.

We explored the enchanting blend of Mayan and Christian traditions surrounding Easter in Antigua and Lake Atitlan, and then visited the intriguing Mayan ruins at Tikal. Text and photos originally published on our web site www.craigandstephsvacations.com
