Top Placencia Hiking Tours

Head out into the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, home to the world's highest concentration of big cats, with this river tubing experience. You'll start with an educational hike to learn about the local plants and animals, followed by a river tubing experience that will take you to a waterfall area that's great for swimming!

Start with a drive through the beautiful countryside to the village of Teakettle. From there, head into the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve and pass through mahogany groves and orchards. When you arrive at the trail, you'll hike through the lush jungle for about 45 minutes before arriving at the caves. Gear up before entering the caves where you'll spend the next three hours hiking, swimming, and exploring this sacred cave formation with your guide.

Take a break from the beaches to see two highlights of Belize’s lush Cayo District, all without renting a car. Stand atop the massive El Castillo temple and and peer into Guatemala at the Xunantunich archaeological site, where a guide shows you highlights of the ruins and reveals secrets of ancient Mayan life. Later, cool off with a swim in the Blue Hole, a natural swimming pool surrounded by tropical forest.

We are aware that one of Belize's main draws is its natural wonders, which include cays, pristine waters, paradisiacal beaches, vibrantly alive woods, and much more. We advise you to visit Cockscomb Jaguar Reserve because of this. At this location, which is close to Placencia and Hopkins Village, you may spend the entire day immersed in nature, surrounded by lush trees, and taking in the local fauna. The only wildlife reserve in the world designed specially to conserve and protect jaguars also benefits other species of animals. The conservation of this 150-square-mile environment benefits pumas, ocelots, howler monkeys, jaguarundis, tropical flowers, curious amphibians, insects, reptiles, and stunning birds of all types. Take advantage of the chance to wander through the forest, see wildlife in its natural setting, and swim in a waterfall-filled natural pool. It will be our pleasure to assist you in making memorable experiences.

Embark on a half-day adventure to Xunantunich and the Inland Blue Hole from Placencia. Prepare to be transported through time as you explore the national treasure of Xunantunich. Along the way, catch a glimpse of local life at the Mopan River. After immersing yourself in the wonders of Xunantunich, cool off with a dip in the enchanting Inland Blue Hole. This hidden gem, distinct from Belize's renowned Blue Hole in the Caribbean Sea, is nestled in lush woodlands.
