The Maya Route (Mexico and Belize) expedition itinerary

Sample itinerary for the Maya Route (Mexico and Belize) expedition

Acclimatisation on The Maya Route
If teams fly into Belize then why not acclimatise in the world’s only jaguar reserve in Cockscomb Basin. If you fly into Mexico, the Cactus Reserve or community village trek are options for the acclimatisation phase.

Main trekking phase
In Belize, teams can head into the deep rainforest of the Indian Creek or to Mountain Pine Ridge for a combination of alpine and jungle experience. In Mexico, teams may choose to attempt to reach the high altitudes of a volcanic peak or head down into the cloudforest of the Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, which receives only a few hundred visitors annually, making it a wild and exciting place to explore.

Project work on The Maya Route
Project sites on the Maya Route have been set in both rural and town locations with work ranging from setting up libraries and renovating schools to supporting community health programmes

Rest and relaxation
The Palenque Ruins in Southern Mexico and crumbling Tulum in the Yucatan Peninsula are impressive sites of ancient Mayan architecture and history. The Carribbean coast stretching the full length of Belize offers an array of white sandy beaches – Caye Caulker is a short boat taxi from Belize City and is popular with its laid back, hammock swinging vibe and snorkelling opportunities.
