CLIENT COMMENT:
"Dear Ann, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for organising our Honeymoon. It was one of the most fantastic and memorable holidays of our lifetime and a great way to kick off married life. Everything went without a hitch and all we had to do was to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Which we did. Belize was everything you said it would be - and more. Thanks Again. " Mr. and Mrs. M. Birch, London |
Day 2 - On Safari Maruba Style: Lamanai - (B,L,D)
Marubas trip to Lamanai (ancient Mayan Temple of the
God of the Submerged Crocodile) is a fascinating, mind blowing experience
made even more exotic by the Maruba touch.
The trip begins with a short drive down the Old Northern Highway to the New River Lagoon, Belizes biggest lake. At Lamanai, view ceremonial sites that the Mayans used from 1500 B.C. to at least A.D. 1650, the longest occupied Mayan site ever. Lunch is simply a treat, served on the edge of the Lagoon shimmering sienna in the heat. Marvel at the pyramids that sit on a hill and still soar above the jungle with howler monkeys, black as soot, swinging in the trees overhead. Your day will be well spent touring with Marubas capable and knowledgeable guide. |
|
Day 3 - Mayan Ruins or Jungle Riding - (B,L,D)
This morning your can choose to visit the nearby Mayan Temples at Altun Ha. This site was important as a trading center for the Mayan people, and even in today's skyscraper age the size and solidity of some of the temples you'll see are impressive. Your highly experienced guide will fill you in on the gory details of sacrifices and wars and random bloodlettings that the Mayans sometimes delighted in.
Alternatively, if you prefer, enjoy a jungle horseback ride. The afternoon is free to relax and unwind, perhaps enjoy a cooling swim in the exotic jungle swimming pool. |
