Just when you think you’ve discovered all there is to see in Belize, there’s always a new spectacular spot to explore! This ultimate eco-tour at the Five Blues Lake features spectacular towering canyons covered with air plants, penetrated with sun beams through the jungle-ending with a refreshing lake kayaking.

The tour starts from our meeting point in our compound with a 10-minute drive in an open air 4 x 4 Transport Vehicle to the Five Blues Lake National Park. Once at the park, a safety briefing is completed with the participants before starting the hike. The hike takes about 30 minutes through lush jungle enjoying the sunlight and sounds of wildlife with a chance of seeing howler monkeys and different species of birds in the upper canopy. After the hike, we enter the Duende Cave where can see “Ixchel”- a modified speleothem at the entrance and crystalline formations.

The total time spent exploring Duende Cave and the spectacular canyons is approximately 1.5 hours, after which we make our way to the lake. Lunch and refreshments are enjoyed at the lakeside. Lunch consists of a delicious “Cave Burrito” with fresh flour tortillas, veggies and meat (If you are a vegetarian, you can have the burrito without the meat). Nothing beats having a burrito with a lake view while enjoying the sounds of wildlife. After lunch we gear up for a refreshing lake kayaking and swimming.

This eco-tour gives you the opportunity to experience Belize’s natural beauty and cultural heritage first-hand whilst supporting our conservation initiatives in the area. 

This amazing adventure is all within the Five Blues Lake National Park, which has been gaining popularity in the last couple of years despite being established since the 1990s.
