Yampu’s brief tour of Belize includes an over-land trip to the Belize Zoo, the finest zoo in Central America and made up of 29 acres of tropical savanna and home to more than 125 animals native to Belize. This tour also includes the Xunantunich Maya site, with a stay in San Ignacio. Here we will take an unforgettable cave-tubing excursion in the “River of Caves”—seven miles long, and all of it underground. We then return to Belize City to fly to San Pedro in Ambergris Caye, where we will have a nice snorkeling excursion in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve.
