Our meeting point is in Dangriga. From here we will be driven further south to the Toledo District in the southern Belize jungle. A traditional lunch will be prepared for us in the Mayan village of Santa Theresa. For the next two days we will break contact completely with the outside world and become a part of the mist shrouded rainforest. We’ll follow the Moho River through beautiful canyons and lush rainforest. Each bend of the river reveals its dynamic nature. Our journey takes us along calm meandering waters reflecting the intense green of the jungle. The river carries us over stretches of rapids, pour-overs, and spectacular waterfalls on our descent from the Maya Mountains to the sea. Once on the river, our guides will conduct a brief orientation on the boats and river. We’ll be given as much time as needed to practice our new boat-handling skills so we can safely navigate the rapids and pour-overs. Following the orientation and practice session, we’ll begin our journey along one of Belize’s most beautiful rivers. Travel through pristine rainforests to our first Belizean river camp.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Rise early and savor the beauty of this idyllic setting before enjoying a delicious breakfast. After packing up camp, we will head off for another day on the Moho River. During the river paddle, our Mayan guides and North American leader emphasize the importance of understanding the ecology of the rainforest. They’ll share their unique knowledge of the habits of the wildlife and help us gain an appreciation for the richness of Mayan folklore. When the water levels are ideal, we typically arrive at the second bush camp by mid-afternoon and switch to land-based activities. Some of the activities we will have the opportunity to engage in are hiking, birding, photography, and wildlife identification.

As you continue your journey today, we leave the Maya mountains and enter the coastal plain of Belize. The river will begin to meander with quiet pools interspersed with the gentle current. It is common to see a Mayan family along the riverbanks or paddling dugout canoes in these large river pools. Paddling downstream we arrive at the river pullout by afternoon. We will be met and taken for a final lunch in the Mayan village of Jordan. We’ll then travel back to the coastal town of Dangriga where we connect you with a domestic flight to Belize City and transfer you to the hotel for our last night.
