This Belize holiday allows time to experience many Belize highlights by visiting four different regions, Orange Walk in the north, the island of Ambergris Caye, the Cayo District in the West and Placencia peninsula on the southern coast.
Mayan highlights can include visiting the scenic Lamanai Mayan ruins, venturing into the Mayan underworld in the cave of Actun Tunichil Muknal, Xunantunich in the Cayo or crossing the border into Guatemala to visit the well excavated Tikal Mayan site.
On Ambergris Caye there is the opportunity to snorkel or dive the Belize Barrier Reef to see spectacular marine life and coral and in the rainforest the chance to see Toucans and Howler monkeys, before finishing your holiday in Placencia for some beach relaxation.
