One the biggest challenges you face when travelling is know what you should see and do. Let’s be honest though...you cannot be an expert at everything. And guess what? You shouldn’t be!
What you can do though is surround yourself with great suppliers that know it all about that particular destination from start to finish. That’s what will make your vacation memorable. As your Belize partner, we want to share with you a great tool to know the best jungle tours for you and which jungle lodge would be a better fit in relation with those tours.
Below is a map of our favorite jungle tours, those that we absolutely recommend doing if you are visiting Belize. As you can see the majority of the tours are located in the Cayo District, which comprises a big area between Belmopan, the capital of Belize, San Ignacio and the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve.
Most of the travelers staying in the Cayo District spend at least 3 nights. Now this means that you will have 2 full days to explore a vast area with multiple activities. So, let’s break it down together in three sub-areas to make your choices easier.
