About this trip

Rediscover hidden temples and palaces which have stood in forested splendor for thousands of years…boat down a lazy river where the elusive crocodile floats among lily pads…sink your toes into the white sandy beach in the land of the Garifuna…travel with our archaeological specialist, who has intimate ties with the country and its people…


Far Horizons proudly offers our Belize tour – a colorful abundance of archaeology, culture and natural history.  During this special 9-day trip, explore lost Maya ceremonial centers concealed by jungle shadows, and meet people from the country’s varied ethnic groups, while seeing spectacular wildlife that other countries around the world label “endangered.”


Long thought to be a backwater of the ancient Maya civilization, archaeological work here has proven the opposite.  Explore Caracol, conqueror of Tikal in the 6th century; Lamanai, an important commercial center for more than 3,000 years; Xunantunich where recent excavations have uncovered the tomb of an important king; Altun-Ha, a major center that controlled the Maya trade routes along the Caribbean coast; and the remote southern cities of Lubaantun and Nimli Punit, where yet another inscribed stela has recently been found.
