Tropical Eco-Sustainability Experience

Barrier Reef

Hol Chan Marine Reserve Snorkel: an all day trip, first taking in Shark/Ray Alley (you can be in the water with nurse sharks and giant eagle rays), then on to the barrier reef, with its incredible array of corals and brightly colored fish for your second ½ hour snorkel, and finally a third snorkeling opportunity in a spot justly famous for its variety of reef plants and corals.  You will experience some of the finest snorkeling the world has to offer.

Cave Tubing

Cave Tubing a 40 minute ramble through the rainforest with your tube over your shoulder brings you to the entrance of your first cave.  Step or jump into the water and relax back in your tube, with your butt in the water and your limbs ready to do a little steering or paddling.  Over the next 40 minutes you will float through two amazing caves with a light strapped to your forehead.  It is said that in those caves you find yourself.

ATM

ATM (Underground Exploration to the Tomb of the Crystal Maiden:  this tour is arguably not for the faint-hearted; but those who have done it often say it was the best thing about their trip to Belize.  You swim into the cave, and follow an underground passage for half a kilometer, during which time you will be in water sometimes up to your knees and occasionally up to your neck.  You then climb a 20 foot escarpment to reach a plateau which was used by the Mayans for ritual sacrifice to the Rain God Chac more than a thousand years ago.  Here you will see ancient Mayan pottery, and the calcite encrusted remains of 14 human beings, including the complete skeleton of a 14 year old girl (the crystal maiden).  It is an awesome experience that we have seen seven year olds and seventy year olds relish: but you need to be fairly confident in water, not to mind tight squeezes in small places, and to have fairly good knees for the climbing bits.  You will know from the above description whether it is for you or not.

Zip Line

Jungle Zip-lines 5 lines 100-150 meters long through the spectacular rainforest canopy.  A very safe thrill under the guidance of two expert instructors and all the safety lines you could want.  A staff-controlled 80 foot rappel at the end.  The only problem you'll have is that it'll  be over too quickly!

Maya Site

Tikal is the largest of the ancient ruined cities of the Maya civilization

Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilization

There are thousands of ancient structures at Tikal and only a fraction of these have been excavated after decades of archaeological work

Flores City

Flores is a small slow-paced village with Caribbean sensibility, pastel-colored buildings and friendly people.

Horse Riding

Jungle Horseback Riding: another wonderful location, run by Caroline Carr ¡V a painter with a world class reputation and her husband.  You will also meet Tika 2; their pet jaguar.

Eco-Tour

a 90+ minute tour of the resort facilities and grounds, taking in the history, geography and geology of Belize, and featuring a number of eco-sustainable practices

Belize Zoo

Belize Zoo a unique collection of rescued wild animals of Belize, this quirky zoological park rehabilitates injured or rogue creatures that would otherwise have died or been culled.  Look out also for the handpainted enclosure signs in verse!.

 “I loved staying here!!  It was awesome.  I hope to come back.”  Manon (aged 9) (French family)

 “Loved staying here!!  Perfect – nice people, good meals, feels like home.  The eco-village is a must-see in Belize, a great example of how it should be done all over the world.  Keep it up until next time. And A+ for Alfredo Le Magnifique!”  Stephane (French family from San Diego)

“Incredible people and wonderful food.  You can’t find better.”  Benedicte

Merci pour ces quelques jours de vacances dans votre lieu de paix.  Merci tous pour votre attention, votre gentillesse, et bonne continuation dans votre projet.  Bonne chance, et peut -etre une autre fois.”

Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM)

One of the highlights for the more active is our tour to Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short “Cave of the Stone Sepulcher”) . An Expedition underground to find the Crystal Mayan Maiden, this cave was featured in the National Geographic Explorer film Journey through the Underworld (1993).

You will bounce over some rough road to get to the start, then trek through some steamy jungle for up to an hour, fording the river 3 times (the water may be up to your knees, or even higher) to get to the mouth of the cave.  Then you swim in (there is no other way) and make your way past stalactites and stalagmites to crystallized human remains from Mayan rituals more than a thousand years ago.  This is an awesome trip which is arguably not for the faint-hearted; that is why we run a more sedate option on the same day!  some of your family member may choose to spend time exploring Mayan, Mennonite and Mestizo population centers with their different cultural overtones instead
