From the exclusive Coppola Hideaways you will discover these riches and you will be initiated by specialized guides into this eco paradise and the magical world of the Maya. The location of the lodges, the warm ambience and the excellent gastronomy undoubtedly contribute to a unique experience.
Tips & Tops Nature Trip Belize and Guatemala:
- The interior of Belize has a very diverse nature; from tropical forest to jagged mountains. Refresh yourself in one of the beautiful waterfalls. Take a walk or a moutainbike tour with the lodge's specialized guides. Or go on a night safari in search of the cougar and the jaguar.
- The ruins of Xunantunich and Caracol appeal to the imagination simply because of the name, but the real challenge is in the ATM cave where you have to swim a bit to see the Mayan relics up close.
- Have your trip extended by a day for a unique stay with the locals in Uaxactún.
- At the coastal lagoons of Placencia you can spot the rare manatee, but there is more: you can kayak in the lagoon in the vicinity of hawksbill turtles and dolphins.
- From the end of March to June you can dive or snorkel with whale sharks.
- Opportunity to visit the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife reserve, looking for the jaguar and other wildlife.
- With the Sunrise tour in Tikal, you'll experience the sunrise from a high Mayan temple overlooking the misty jungle, a spectacular sight! If you are not such an early bird or rain is forecast, you can also watch Tikal during the day, or experience a 'sundown' tour.
- You will stay on a full board basis and activities in the exclusive Coppola Resorts: Blancaneaux Lodge,La Lancha and Turtle Inn.
- Very suitable as a honeymoon.
