The Central American idyll of Belize is small but packs a punch, encompassing steamy jungle, wildlife-rich national parks, ancient cities, vibrantly-hued coral reef and palm-fringed Caribbean coastline.
On this adventure-packed tour, visit buzzing San Ignacio to explore incredible underworld realms in the Actun Tunichil Muknal caves; Caracol to hike jagged forested peaks and explore Mayan temples; and San Pedro to swim with nurse sharks and stingrays in a marine reserve.
This 10-day trip costs from £2,800 pp (two sharing) including B&B, some meals, transfers, excursions and the services of a local guide. Flights not included.
