Altun Ha

 

Known as the Jungle River Trip. Travel by boat to the mainland and up the jungle river; transfer to a van for the trip to Altun Ha. This is a chance to learn a bit of history of the ancient Maya and see rural Belize. Much of the wood carving from Belize is made in this area. You may find some that you would like to take home. You will stop for lunch at Maruba, a jungle lodge with a distinctly different flavor. You pay for lunch, but there is no charge for swimming or even horseback riding, so go prepared.

US$75/person (Does not include the US$10entrance fee at the ruins). Lunch not included.

There are several fascinating day trips to Maya ruins in both Belize and nearby Guatemala. We find that most of our guests include at least one trip to the ruins.
An hour of hiking under the canopy of lush rainforest to the entrance of the cave system gives you a first hand look at beautiful Cayo District and affords ample opportunities to see tropical birds and other wildlife.
Glide past entrances from above, filtering mists of jungle light, as you float through underground river caves sparkling with mica-studded stalactites and stalagmites and filled with 1,000-year-old pottery shards, statues of fertility gods and Mayan footprints.

US$150/person. (does not include $10 entrance fee to the caves)

The Sibun River on the Belize Mainland winds through an amazing series of caves in the Maya Mountains. The caves had a very important role in the life of the anchient Maya as your well trained guide will tell you. The trip includes an excellent guided tour of the Belize Zoo and Education Center and a float down the river to explore five incredible caves.

Lamanai by Boat

This trip combines Mayan ruins, the tiny village of Bomba where most of Belize's wood carving comes from and a river trip that is teeming with wildlife. Your guide will share with you a lifetime of knowledge about Belize. Birdwatchers--this one's for you!

US$135 per person (includes entrance fee at the ruins). Lunch included.

Tikal

Tikal is just across the Belize/Guatemala border. It is without a doubt the most spectacular Maya site. Vast areas have been restored. These restorations include temples, palaces, shrines, ceremonial platforms, private residences, ball-courts, causeways and plazas. Trip includes round trip air, ground transportation, park fees, guide, and a box lunch. Not included are the government departure fees from Belize and Guatemala and shopping (beautiful weavings are available at a stop near Tikal).
