After a scenic drive through the Farms and Villages of the Western Highway, you board your motorized canoe that will take you up the river to the Panti Maya Medicinal Trail. Along the high limestone cliffs of the Macal Branch of the Belize River, you look for parrots, toucans and iguanas, as they perch from trees along the river banks.

At the Panti Trail, your guide will point out plants and herbs still used by Belizeans for medicinal purposes. After lunch, you start your return to Belize City, with a stop at Cahal Pech Maya ruins. There you can see a small archaeological site with corbel arch rooms dating back to 1000 BC.

On arrival at Pecarry Park Adventure Center, your experienced guides will brief you on safety procedures for ATV handling, outline the route to be taken and issue protective gear and helmets.

Explore the jungles of Belize on trails laid out over 100 years ago by loggers in search of precious Mahogany trees.

The trails are a good mix of various challenging terrain leading to the stop of the day - the Maya Caves. Here you explore caves once used by the Maya thousands of years ago. These sacred places were used for important ceremonies conducted to appease the gods of the underworld. As you explore the cave, be on the look out for ancient ceramic pots forgotten for centuries.

Return through the jungle keeping your eye out for the various plants and animals you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of!

Bring along your walking shoes, your swimwear and an adventurous mind for a full day of activity.

Departure from Belize City for 2 - 2.5 hours drive via the Western Highway. The Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve is teaming with hills and valleys, rivers and waterfalls and swimming holes and caves all surrounded by the majestic beauty of the tropical pine forest.

Your three main stops are the 1000-ft Hidden Valley Waterfalls, the Rio Frio Cave, and the Rio On Rapids and Pools. Bring along your binoculars, as there is much exotic flora and fauna to see that are endemic to this extremely rough, but beautiful part of the country.
