Belize
Explore lush, tropical forests and swim in the clear, blue-green waters of this jewel of Central America.
April 4-9, 2027
From rainforest to reef, this journey highlights the beauty and biodiversity found in Belize, a tropical paradise safeguarded for millennia by the Mayans. From a home base in the heart of the Selva Maya (Maya Forest), we will discover blue lagoons, ancient Mayan sites, scenic vistas and trails winding through a vast wilderness that harbors around 80 species of mammals and 400 species of birds. On another leg of this journey, we will visit the Mesoamerican Reef, which is included in the country’s goal of protecting 30% of its ocean areas by 2030. Throughout the visit, our staff will discuss how The Nature Conservancy works to safeguard these lands and seas as the inheritance of the Mayan legacy.
Highlights
- Venture on an evening wildlife tour in search of tarantulas, tree frogs, margays, ocelots and other creatures inhabiting the Selva Maya.
- Board a private boat to visit a seaweed farm and learn how mariculture (underwater agriculture) fuels Belize’s local economy.
- Go snorkeling in Laughing Bird Caye National Park and listen for the gulls known for their laugh-like calls that gave this place its name.
