Central America rainforest vacations

Wild South - 5 Days / 6 Nights

For the adventurer, the Wild South of Belize offers an opportunity to explore one of the last remaining undisturbed rainforests in all of Central America.

Our journey begins by charter plane from Belize City, flying the length of the country over a mosaic of mountains, rivers and rainforests before landing in the small southern town of Punta Gorda. From here we travel into the Maya Mountains and for the next two days are based from our jungle lodge within the Blue Creek Wildlife Sanctuary.

We are located in the heart of Belize's richest primary forests - an area far off the tourist path, considered the homeland of the Kekchi and Mopan Maya.


Highlights

A spectacular adventure by land and river into the seldom visited primary rainforest of the Blue Creek region. Climb the rainforest canopy walkway and explore a vast cave system, then undertake a four day decent of the Moho river using a fleet of inflatable river kayaks.

Activities


Hiking, Rainforest Canopy Walkway, caving, river kayaking.

Hiking through the rainforest Within the Sanctuary is a unique canopy walkway which enables us to walk through the treetops, over 80 feet above the forest floor.

Also in the surrounding jungle are the Hokeb Ha Caves, with fantastic flowstone formations, delicate cave pearls, and translucent draperies of calcium carbonate. Here we gain a sense of why the caves were held sacred by the Maya as a gateway to the netherworld.

“This trip was a lifetime experience. The real rainforest. Not a walk on a prepared path”

- Helmut and Brigitte Eiselt

The next stage of our journey takes us deeper into the wilderness. Using inflatable kayaks, we spend 3 days on the Upper Moho River. Traveling on the river through the rainforest in the wild south of Belize is an experience to remember and talk of for years to come.
