Maya Temples to the Caribbean
Belize and Guatemala. It’s a pairing as perfect as lime and coconut. From the depths of coral reefs and caves to labyrinthine Maya ruins, these engaging neighbors invite you to dive in. Into local traditions and stories, into rugged jungle adventures, and of course, into blue Caribbean waters.
Highlights
- Bike the quiet jungle road into Tikal National Park, a World Heritage site which spectacularly showcases the ancient Maya’s artistic and architectural genius
- Snorkel with vibrantly colored fish in the warm Caribbean waters of the world's second-largest barrier reef
- Learn about Belize and Guatemala's rich blend of cultures, from Garifuna to Mennonite and ancient Maya
- Hike to ancient ceremonial caves and explore Central America’s fascinating underground world with headlamps and local guides
- Keep an eye out for wildlife like howler monkeys (you’ll hear them before you see them!) and chubby squirrel-like agoutis

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.
This trip includes one day of longer shuttle time from Guatemala to Belize, with an international border crossing. Even with the expert facilitation of your Backroads Trip Leaders, border crossings can take time. While patience and a sense of humor are never out of place at international customs, we'll minimize the obstacles and make this border crossing just another stop on the adventure.
This trip includes travel on a commercial flight so that we can explore the best of your destination. Please note that flight schedules can change with little advance warning, which may require us to adjust our activities on a travel day. Your Trip Leaders will provide more details on any changes should this occur.
