Rich in Maya culture and jungle beauty, this Belize trip will take you into the Maya Mountains, to the ancient ruins of Xunantunich and Caracol, to the underground world of mystifying caves and beautiful water wonders. This trip is designed to introduce you to Maya culture and histories, but also includes plenty of hiking, caving and other activities to keep your body and mind engaged and excited. End your Belize vacation with a few days at your beachside hotel on the Placencia Peninsula - snorkeling, diving or fishing by day and relaxing to the Caribbean rhythm in the evening. Welcome to Belize travel!
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Arrive at the Belize City airport and transfer to your jungle retreat. Along the way stop at the Belize Zoo, where in typical Belizean fashion animals roam 29 acres in large natural enclosures. The jungle lodge is tucked next to the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve and Roaring River. Surrounded by pristine forest, your days at the lodge are filled with natural discoveries exploring the lush vegetation of the Maya Mountains and the mysteries beneath.
These days are free for you to choose your activities. Spend your days exploring the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and canoeing the Rio Macal. You can also go caving and ziplining, float through the Barton Creek Cave, or explore the mystery of the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave. Upgraded activities include the Tikal and Caracol Mayan ruins and the Black Hole drop. Click here to view the excursions.
Enjoy your last morning in the jungle before transferring to your beach hotel on the Placencia peninsula. Along the way, you will stop at the Blue Hole National Park for lunch and a swim in the natural jungle pool. Settle into your beach side hotel and relax into the Belizean spirit.
Known for its beautiful beaches, Placencia is a quiet, charming village located at the southern tip of the thirteen-mile peninsula. Your time is available for you to arrange activities locally or explore the quaint village. You can take a PADI scuba diver Resort Course, explore the peninsula by bicycle, rent a catamaran or just relax on the beach. Placencia has plenty of services for daytime adventure and nighttime dining.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
