This 14
day TROPECOSE Package Tour
is designed for a wide range of
people: anyone looking for a holiday where they can mix periods
of relaxation with lots to do and different places to go,
families with teenage children, nature lovers, researchers,
writers, people who are interested in retiring, relocating or
investing in Tropical Belize. These 14 days will give you wide
ranging experiences across the different habitats of Belize and
into Guatemala.
The package
enables you to experience 4different locations:
Belize Inland, the Cayes, Cayo and Tikal in Guatemala. The
tour activities include
tubing through a cave system, zip-lining through the tropical
rainforest canopy, snorkeling over the coral reef at the Hol
Chan Marine Reserve and Shark/Ray Alley, cruising at the Crooked
Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (where 285 species of bird have so far
been sighted), and hunting green iguanas and epiphytes (but only
with a camera and binoculars!). These tours will let you be as
active or as relaxed as YOU want to be (nobody will force you to
climb to the top of a Mayan pyramid, or to snorkel with nursing
sharks if you don't want to!)
One of the highlight will be
An Expedition to explore the underground Mayan
Crystal Maiden,
the cave was featured in the National Geographic
Explorer film Journey Through the Underworld
(1993). The
ATM is truly a magnificent and amazing
experience.
This is an awesome trip which is arguably not
for the faint-hearted; which is why we run a
more sedate option on the same day! You may
choose to spend time exploring Mayan, Mennonite
and Mestizo population centers with their
different cultural overtones instead.
In order to
appreciate the beauty and biodiversity of this region, you will
get the chance to observe a number of different eco systems:
tropical rainforest, savannah, cave branch, river, creek, remote
lagoon, riverine borderlands and coral reef habitats.
You will also
experience the diversity of regional cultures by visiting their
built environments: Flores City in Guatemala, the old capital
Belize City and the new capital Belmopan. You will visit the
Mestizo Town of San Ignacio.
Many guests
comment on the excellence of our food. We offer meticulously
prepared meals that are a delicious mixture of Creole,
Garifuna , Mayan, Mestizo and Taiwanese dishes. We pride
ourselves on using organically grown fruit and vegetables
whenever possible. Our food contains no chemicals or
preservatives whatsoever, and we make our own bread, yoghurt and
flower tea. Vegetarians are especially welcome, and are well
catered for.
The
Orchid Garden Eco-Village
is centrally located. From this tranquil, secure and beautiful
home base some fourteen miles from Belize City, you just need to
pack lightly to visit other locations, such as Caye Caulker or
San Pedro, Placencia and Tikal, knowing that your other
possessions are perfectly safe in your room at the Orchid
Garden.
Joining
our program means enjoying
quality experiences that normally carry a significantly higher
price tag. Relax comfortably in our clean and spacious rooms
with A/C and en suite bathrooms. Guests also often comment on
the peace and tranquility of our private village, with its
tropical gardens and wonderful birds and butterflies. Experience
the lush beauty of the tropics right outside your door!
This 14 Day Programme comes with a certificate which is
available on request. It is a great combination of adventure and
relaxation, with an opportunity to think and talk about the
