Day 1
Arrival in Belize City. On your way to San Ignacio visit the exciting Belize's historic wildlife habitat, known as the "Belize Zoo" and enjoy an introduction to the country's diverse fauna. Jaguars, tapirs, toucans, and jabirus are just a few of the exotic species that are excellent for beautiful photographs.

Day 2
Visit Belize's second tallest structure, Xunantunich. Believed to have been an ancient ceremonial center, Xunantunich commands an unrivaled view of the Macal river Valley that was once a thriving Mayan metropolis. Continue with a nature walk along the Panti Medicinal Trail and discover the plants and herbs still used by the Belizeans for medicinal purposes. Canoe ride down to Macal River to San Ignacio to look for parrots, toucans and iguanas in the trees alongside the river.

Day 3
Explore the Chech Chem Ha Caves where magnificent Maya pottery is exposed the same way as it was discovered. Afternoon hike to the nearby falls.

Day 4
Early departure for one of the most interesting tours, Lamanai. After two hours drive north from San Ignacio, you board a river boat at Tower Hill. Along the New River leading into swamps, little creeks and lagoons, it is easy to encounter hawks, kites, and falcons. You may spot the dainty jacanas lightly walking on the lily pads, while the crocodiles bask in the morning sunlight. An hour and a half on the river and then you arrive at Lamanai (Maya for submerged crocodile). Huge masks depicting dead rulers and gods seem to materialize out of the rain forest, amid the chatter of birds and the warning call of the howler monkeys. Your guide will point out certain flora and fauna. Drive an hour south to Belize City for your flight to San Pedro in Ambergris Caye.
