Belize Experience

Private transfer from Belize City to San Ignacio or v.v.

San Ignacio is a small town in the Cayo region of Belize, located on the west bank of the Macal River and inhabited by an interesting mix of Mestizos, Maya, Garifuna as well as European and North American expatriates. The town is a hub for outdoor activities such as caving, hiking, kayaking and horseback riding. It is also the gateway to Belize’s Mayan ruins including the ancient city of Xunantunich and to caves that were sacred to the ancient Maya, containing beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, pottery and even skeletons.

You will be met at your hotel and transferred to the Maya village of San Antonio. Here we have an opportunity to see the Mestizo culture that is the mix of Maya and Spanish - you will see members of two tribes that live in San Antonio-the Mopan and the Yucatec. From here you will visit the Pine Ridge Nature Reserve, which is a national park and here you can learn about the reforestation programs taking place. Then, a one hour drive takes us to the Maya site of Caracol which is the largest archaeological site in Belize. On the way back to the hotel you can choose to visit the Rio-on Pools and Rio Frio Caves if you wish. Included: Private transfers, guide, lunch and entrance fees.

After an exciting drive to the trailhead, guests will trek for 45 minutes through dense jungle in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve and wade across three streams, learning about the plants and animals of the jungle along the way. At the entrance of the cave guests are outfitted in the necessary equipment preparing them for the caving adventure ahead. Some swimming will be required and also climbing and caving activity. This is a first class caving and archaeological experience. Time in the cave is approximately 3 hours before returning back to the vehicle and to the hotel.

Today you are free to relax and enjoy the pure air and the beauty of the wonderful Belizean Rainforest.

Whilst transferring to or from one of the airports in Belize guests enjoy a cave tubing trip at Jaguar Paw. Guests transfer to the famous Caves Branch river cave system for a fun cave tubing trip. They hike through the rainforest to the top of the river where they put in with their tubes and then float all the way back down the river through caves and rainforest. When guests are ready they transfer to their final destination.
