Skyway Hanging Bridge Or Jungle Horseback Riding & Flores City

After breakfast, we transfer you to the border with Guatemala Tikal Hotel taxi will take you to your hotel in El Remate, close to Flores City, the Casa de Don David, which is in a beautiful lakeside location. There you will have lunch, after which the driver will take you to the Hanging Bridges of Ixpanpajul, and leave you to take a self-guided walk along the bridges which stretch for some 3 kilometres through the rainforest canopy and afford excellent opportunities for bird-watching. Your driver will come back for you at a prearranged time and take you to Flores City, where you will have perhaps an hour to explore that pretty little town. Then he will take you back to your hotel for dinner.

Tikal Tour /Belize

You will get up early (around 5am) and be taken to Tikal (about 20 minutes from the hotel) so that you can experience the sun rising over the pyramids. Breakfast is not provided by the hotel because you leave for Tikal so early, but can be purchased very cheaply in the park, Tikal is the most perfectly preserved ancient Mayan city in existence, and your English speaking guide will give you a highly informative tour which will last most of the morning. The hotel will have provided you with a lunchbox. After an opportunity for you to spend another couple of hours exploring the vast Tikal sight on your own, you will meet up with your tour vehicle and be transported to your hotel. You are likely to be pretty tired by now, but the lake and the village of El Remate present some opportunities for strolling and sight-seeing, if you have the energy..

Cave Tubing + Zip Lines  OR Cave Tubing + Belize Zoo

All in all, it’s an interesting day, perhaps all the more so because of the contrasting activities and the sense of symmetry: flying high and floating low, feeling the rush of air and the flow of water, the heat of the rainforest and the cool of the caves.  The memories of this day will stay with you, perhaps in years to come to “flash upon the inward eye, which is the bliss of solitude” in a quiet moment, on a different part of the planet.

Departure Day

After breakfast is free until it is time to transfer you to International Airport to take your departure flight
