Explore the Rivers, Ruins and Reefs of beautiful Belize. Visit the fascinating ruins of Xunantunich and just over the border to Guatemala to see impressive Tikal. Hike the lush Mountain Pine Ridge to Rio Frio Caves and snorkel the crystal clear waters in a kaleidescope of colors in Dangriga! 1ST DAY • USA/BELIZE CITY Arrival in Belize City where you will be met by our representative and transferred to the Radisson Fort George Hotel or the Princess Hotel. 2ND DAY • BELIZE CITY/XUNANTUNICH/ SAN IGNACIO This morning we depart Belize City via the Western Highway to the Belize Zoo. The zoo was begun in 1983 when a small group of Belizean animals, once used as movie stars for natural history films, were left without financial support for their maintenance. As a result of this situation, their caretaker then changed her title to zoo director, and started a small zoo. Today, the zoo is home to more than a hundred species of native Belizean animals including many endangered species. Continue to San Ignacio, hugging the banks of the Macal River. Quaint shops, restaurants, inns and houses dot the surrounding hillside in this frontier-like town. After lunch tour to Xunantunich Mayan Ruin. This major ceremonial center is located on a natural limestone ridge, providing a panoramic view of the Cayo District. The largest pyramid, “El Castillo”, has been partially excavated and explored, and bears a remarkable stucco frieze on the east side of the A-6 structure. Three carved stelae found at the site are on display in the plaza. Transfer to the charming Crystal Paradise Resort for check-in, dinner and overnight.

The reserve is teaming with hills and valleys, rivers and falls, swimming holes and caves, all surrounded by the majestic beauty of Pine Forests. Our main stops will be at the Rio Frio Caves, Rio on Pools, and weather and road conditions permitting, you’ll get a chance to see the 1000 ft. Hidden Valley Waterfalls.
