Day 1
Arrival in Belize City. On your way to San Ignacio
visit the exciting Belize's historic wildlife habitat, known as
the "Belize Zoo" and enjoy an introduction to the country's
diverse fauna. Jaguars, tapirs, toucans, and jabirus are just a
few of the exotic species that are excellent for beautiful photographs.
Day 2
Visit
Belize's second tallest structure, Xunantunich. Believed to have
been an ancient ceremonial center, Xunantunich commands an unrivaled
view of the Macal river Valley that was once a thriving Mayan metropolis.
Continue with a nature walk along the Panti Medicinal Trail and
discover the plants and herbs still used by the Belizeans for medicinal
purposes. Canoe ride down to Macal River to San Ignacio to look
for parrots, toucans and iguanas in the trees alongside the river.
Day 3
Explore the Chech Chem Ha Caves where magnificent Maya pottery is
exposed the same way as it was discovered. Afternoon hike to the
nearby falls.
Day 4
Early departure for one of the most interesting tours, Lamanai.
After two hours drive north from San Ignacio, you board a river
boat at Tower Hill. Along the New River leading into swamps, little
creeks and lagoons, it is easy to encounter hawks, kites, and falcons.
You may spot the dainty jacanas lightly walking on the lily pads,
while the crocodiles bask in the morning sunlight. An hour and a
half on the river and then you arrive at Lamanai (Maya for submerged
crocodile). Huge masks depicting dead rulers and gods seem to materialize
out of the rain forest, amid the chatter of birds and the warning
call of the howler monkeys. Your guide will point out certain flora
and fauna. Drive an hour south to Belize City for your flight
to San Pedro in Ambergris Caye.
