Central America: Belize, Mexico
Hosting the second largest barrier reef globally, Belize is an international diving destination, and this trip starts with one of the most epic dive trips on the planet, the Blue Hole. The aquarium-like setting of the lighthouse reef offers diving conditions and fauna unparalleled in the Caribbean, as is the laid-back vibe of our base, Caye Caulker. After we leave the coast, we head inland, where the caving part of the tour takes you through a subterranean river, over and under boulders, rocks and crevices into the main chamber of Acton Tunichil Mohnal. Here you'll find the remnants of Mayan rituals and ceremonies arranged just as they were left thousands of years earlier by the Maya. After an adrenaline-filled day underground, we then visit the ancient capital of the Mayan civilization dating back to 200 A.D., Tikal. This impeccably preserved site provides a window to the past, where it once served as the most powerful city in all of the Americas. Adventure now!
