Enjoy the stunning white sand beaches, crystal blue waters and fresh seafood from beachside restaurants on San Pedro Island. Take a guided snorkeling excursion to explore the nearby Barrier Reef, the second largest reef system in the world, or relax in one of the many luxury beachside villas and spa resorts.
Placencia is a small, tranquil village situated on the narrowest part of the Placencia Peninsula with both the Caribbean sea and a lagoon on each side. Go on an early morning kayak tour through the lagoon, admire the stunning landscape filled with mangrove trees and spot manatees. In the afternoon, rent a bike and ride down the beach-lined sidewalk, visit Placencia’s famous art district and indulge in the mouth-watering local cuisine.
On the last day, take a tour to explore the ancient Mayan ruins at Caracol. Here, you can climb the largest man-made structure in Belize, the Caana pyramids, and enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding rainforest. Learn about the history of the Mayan civilization and their remarkable achievements. On the way back, stop by Río On Pools, a series of natural pools and waterfalls that offer the perfect relaxation experience in the middle of the jungle.
To extend your trip to Belize, you can add a day trip to Caye Caulker, a magical island that is perfect for snorkeling, diving and relaxing. For shorter trips, consider spending a half day at the Belize Zoo or exploring the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. If you have less time, skip Caracol Mayan Ruins and instead explore the lush rainforests of Belize on an ATV or zipline adventure.
