San Ignacio is a great place to base yourself to explore the Cayo District. The local vibe of the area will intrigue and give a great sense of the community.
Mountain Pine Ridge is a nature reserve in the Cayo District of southern central Belize. It was established in 1944 to protect and manage the native pine forest. The reserve is home to various large mammals, including Cougars, Jaguars, Ocelots, White-nosed Coatis, and Baird’s Tapirs. If you visit between Autumn and Spring, you may also see the Hepatic Tanager and Chipping Sparrow. Raptors cruise the valleys of the Pine Ridge, and it’s the most likely place in Belize to see Orange breasted Falcons. Mountain Pine Ridge offers a truly unique experience, and unforgettable memories will be made here.
Ambergris Caye is the largest island of Belize. It’s located northeast of the country in the Caribbean Sea. The best part of this island is the fact that it hasn’t been modified by man. It is mostly a ring of white sand beach that surrounds a mangrove swamp. San Pedro is the largest settlement and only town on Ambergris. The island is also dotted with a number of small villages and resorts. The main attractions are the beaches and the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest worldwide. Snorkeling and diving are highlights to exploring this beautiful corner of the world.

Both Joan and I had a fabulous time away
Both Joan and I had a fabulous time away and very much appreciate everything that you did to make it possible. The wildlife, particularly the sea turtles we saw laying their eggs, the monkeys, the tapir we tracked, and all of the different bird types that we encountered, were all great experiences. We also enjoyed the relaxation time that we had in Belize, where the snorkeling and diving was also good.

Thanks again for the usual great Yampu trip.
We loved everything – it really was a perfect itinerary and all the transports were great. The hotels were really top-notch and just what we expected. We did a river tour on the first day in the Black Orchid that we enjoyed. The Belize Zoo is really unique and worth the visit. We also thought the Mayan ruins in both Belize and Guatemala were exceptional. We liked the cave tubing. Ramon’s Village was very good and the water activities superb.
