February 26: Salt Lake to Belize City. Today we will fly via Texas or Atlanta to Belize City arriving in the late afternoon. Belize is on central time, so no jet lag for this trip! Our coach will be waiting and we’ll transfer 60 minutes north to the town of Orange Walk where we’ll stay at Lamanai Landings on the New River Lagoon. We have a welcome dinner and rest this evening. Tour pays for dinner.
February 27: Lamanai. Our lovely hotel overlooks the New River Lagoon. You can sit on your private balcony or at breakfast and watch the variety of birds that come and go. After breakfast, there will be an optional lecture about “The Book of Mormon in Mesoamerica” which will provide important context for the rest of the tour. We then board our motorboats that will take us on an exhilarating 45 minute ride on this snaking, jungle river. We’ll then arrive in a man made lagoon on which the Mayas built an impressive city over 2,000 years ago. It’s called Lamanai and it’s locked deep in the jungle. Amidst the howler monkeys and towering trees, this breathtaking site is a place you’ll long remember. Upon arrival, we’ll have a homemade Belizian barbecue lunch followed by a guided tour of the site. We will then return via our jet boat to our hotel where you’ll have some free time this evening. Those interested can go with us into Orange Walk and enjoy dinner at Maracas on the New River. Tour to pay for breakfast, boat rides, admission and lunch today.
February 28: Today after a relaxing breakfast, we drive about an hour to a smaller Mayan site known as Altun Ha. We’ll spend an hour here as there are some interesting things to see. The largest and most valuable jade artifact in all of the Mayan world was discovered here. We then visit the Belize Zoo to see the fascinating animals native to Belize where we’ll also have lunch. In the afternoon, we drive to the west side of the country (about 2 hours) to the town of St. Ignacio where we stay in a resort hotel overlooking the beautiful, lush valley for three nights. Tour to pay for breakfast, dinner and admissions today.
March 1: Tikal. Today is perhaps the highlight of the week. Just across the border in Guatemala (just over an 90 minutes away), is the most impressive of ALL the Central American sites: TIKAL. It is in a league of its own and one that should be on every bucket list. Supporting over 2 million people at its height, this Mayan city locked in the Peten Jungle is magnificent. It is made up of multiple temples piercing the jungle canopy, interesting writings they left behind, and a high quantity of well preserved buildings in thus unique setting. A local guide will show us around – and we’ll discover what may be some interesting Book of Mormon connections. It will be a day to remember. Lunch is included after departing the ruins. We return to our hotel in St. Ignacio, Belize. A departure tax must be paid, in person, as we leave Guatemala returning to Belize. Tour to pay for breakfast, Tikal and lunch today.
March 2: Yesterday was a big day in Tikal. Today we’ll sleep in and have a relaxing breakfast. We’ll have a chance to attend church in the town (1 minute from our hotel). Then we’ll enjoy some wonderful activities around this beautiful part of Belize. We will be to drive to nearby Mountain Pine Ridge and make a visit to the Green Hills Butterfly Farm where we’ll spend an hour (fabulous butterflies and hummingbirds in a beautiful jungle setting). Trust me, it is worth a visit. A few minutes away is an interesting cave with a river system. After lunch in a lovely outdoor setting, we’ll enjoy a safe, relaxing canoe ride through the interior of the cave. You can row your own or a guide will row for you. It’s perfectly calm, and very beautiful. We then return to the hotel where you’ll have free time this evening. (Note: If anyone wants to visit the ruins of Caracol today instead of these described activities, it can be arranged for an extra charge). Tour to pay for breakfast and lunch and activities.
March 3: This morning we’ll visit the exceptional Mayan site called Xunantunich, just minutes from our hotel. A short ferry ride takes us across the river and then we spend two hours at this small but important site. This is the second highest temple in Belize and the Mayan hieroglyphs are prominently displayed on the temple walls. It is very different than the other sites we have visited. Lunch is included in San Ignacio before we then travel 2 hours back to Belize City to catch our boat for a 45 minute ride to beautiful Caye Caulker, an island along the barrier reef of Belize. We will arrive around 4:30. We’ll relax this evening in our ocean front resort called Island Magic. Tour to pay for breakfast, tours, lunch and boat ride.
March 4: Caye Caulker. This is a day to explore and enjoy as you wish. Stretching over 160 miles off the coast is the UNESCO protected Belize Barrier Reef, second only to the one in Australia. Our island, is just one mile from the reef. You’ll have some free time today. Take a ferry to neighboring San Pedro, enjoy some shopping on the island, or sign up for a very reasonably priced 1/2 day snorkeling activity. There are no motor vehicles on the island. For a small fee, you can rent a golf cart and explore the island on your own. In the evening, we’ll board our private boat for an hour long sunset cruise on western side of our beautiful island. It is a peaceful and relaxing way to end our trip. We will have a farewell buffet dinner with our group tonight at the Barefoot Caribe. Tour to pay for dinner today.
March 5: After a relaxing morning and breakfast, we’ll return via private ferry to Belize City, and on to the airport for flights home. Join us and you’ll see why they all say that it really is UNBELIZABLE!
