Package Summary
The Trip
Journey into the deep southern region of Belize, where time seems to stand still. Traveling to Blue Creek,
a Maya village nestled into the foothills of the Maya mountains, we hike the rainforest, swim into the underworld
of Blue Creek Cave and share in the rich culture of the Maya. The following day we paddle into the depths of the
jungle along Monkey River. Gliding through the forest we search out crocodiles, birds and the howler monkeys the
river is named for.
Accommodations
The accommodations in Blue Creek are at a rustic guest house. There are flush toilets and cold showers. Along
the river we will be camping in tents with sleeping mats and sheets. Bathing is done in the river and there is
only a pit toilet for the one night along the river. We know it's rough, but pretend you are on Survivor!
Activity Level
Hiking in Blue Creek is moderate. Some hills. The kayaking is unsupported and we paddle approximately 4-6
hours daily in double inflatable kayaks. Some degree of fitness would be a plus for this tour.

homemade tortillas, some chicken. Maya style cooking. Along the river we will eat meals with the same staples.
