Belize Hiking
Caribbean Jungle Vacation

To read about jungle hiking as part of a multi-sport package, check out our
Belize Adventure Week trip or our Mayan Odyssey package.

There are some fantastic hiking trails in Belize, although most of the hiking available is actually on the way to another activity, such as a Mayan ruin or Mayan ceremonial cave. Most of the maintained trails are in the jungle, and a competent guide should point out the local plants and their medicinal uses, as well as jungle birds and animals.

If you are looking for particularly good hiking in Belize you should check out the following:

-Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve

-Area around the Caves Branch River

-On the way to Actun Tunichil Muknal or Chech-Hem-Ha ceremonial caves

-Hiking from Clarissa Falls Cottages to Bullet Tree Falls

Walking jungle paths is incorporated into many of our other activities. On our Belize Adventure Week itinerary we hike through lush jungle during the portage on the Caves Branch River, which provides an excellent opportunity to see rainforest flora and fauna. When exploring Xunantunich, we climb the Castillo, a hike which takes us to a viewpoint where we can see all the way to nearby Guatemala. And we hike over a mile through jungle to get to the entrance of Actun Tunichil Muknal. Along the way your guide will point out various plants and their medicinal uses. Numerous birds and iguana are often seen.
