Maya Temples to the Caribbean
Belize and Guatemala will enchant you. From Maya temples to jungle trails, the thrill dives deep. Like a plunge into the Caribbean, reemerging with the call of the toucan and the beat of the Garifuna's drum. Days filled with wonders that stop you in your tracks—or your flippers, as the case may be. We're thrilled to have you join us.
Highlights
- Hike and bike through rural towns and forests into Tikal National Park, where Maya pyramids abound
- Experience Belize and Guatemala's rich blend of cultures, from Garifuna to Mennonites and Maya
- Snorkel and float above the world's second-largest barrier reef, where tropical fish and sea life will astound
- Dine on delicious Caribbean specialties like conch fritters, fry jacks and fresh spiny lobster

What's Included

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
On this trip we occasionally travel by single-engine or turbo-prop plane to reach the exclusive hotels and activities this destination has to offer. We will be flying on both private chartered and scheduled flights with Tropic Air aboard Airvan, Caravan and turbo-prop planes that seat 6–14 passengers.
On this trip we have the opportunity to venture from Belize to Guatemala and back again. On all our trips we make every effort to facilitate crossing international borders by removing as many obstacles and inconveniences as possible. Often we are able to create a seamless experience. But even with all the organization and effort of our leaders, sometimes border crossings take time. With a little patience we hope to make this experience as enjoyable and easy as possible.
In order to bring you the full splendor of this region, we spend more time shuttling on this trip than on many other Backroads trips. Our time in the shuttles allows us to experience the incredible variety of ecosystems, scenery and activities that Belize has to offer. Due to the tropical climate and underdeveloped infrastructure, road maintenance is a continual challenge, so we will likely encounter sections of bumpy roads. Sit back and relax, knowing that someone else is doing the driving, and enjoy the beauty of the journey.
