San Ignacio was absolutely amazing. I loved that town and all the cool ruins around the area.

You two have nailed it with this adventurous tour! Caracol reminds me of pyramids in Egypt but blended with green, there is a lot of familiarities! The waterfalls seems so much to experience too. Making chocolate is something I would love to try one day! How fun! Thanks for the suggestions on the food spots, as you know we love exploring different types of food! OMG Iguanas! I can't believe you played with them!

@LucasWorldTravel Жыл бұрын

Yes this tour really made us appreciate iguanas so much more. Such gentle creatures. We can’t wait to see the pyramids in Egypt. Hopefully next year!

Its really beautiful to see y'all ancient people of the Americas enjoying y'all culture, all Aboriginal Americans (African-Americans aint African) should visit their ancient lands. The Seminole tribe are in-fact ancient Mayan, Yamasee tribe in Southern Alabama and Mississippi is Mayan also, we are ("Black" Americans) the ancient ones of the Americas. When we look upon the faces of the Belizean dark ppl those are the Mayan ppl, ancient relatives of southern and east coast Aboriginal Americans aka Black Folks (Maya-Mi=Miami, Miamisburg, Ohio (Look it up Ancient Mayan ruins in Ohio its in 'the Hood', Look up Maya Rd, Miami, FL). Awesome video, great itinerary.....!!!!!!! Thank You.

This looked like such a fun adventure! Love the way you shared the history as well as your experiences, crazy the way human sacrifices were made in that part of the world. The waterfall swim looked really fun but yes those tours are pricey, glad to see alternative options. The food looked so good and affordable 😋We love the umbrella hack too, great for rain or shine! The lizard on your hat was adorable!🦎

Love the ancient ruins! But the whole tour looked great! Oooh, chocolate making! I’d love to do that! Especially the tasting part of the tour 😅 The food and drinks at guava limb looks amazing!!! Eeek, 40 minutes to use the atm 😳 people must be super patient over there 😅 Yup, that Ferry sure is unique! The views from up at the ruins are incredible!

@LucasWorldTravel Жыл бұрын

Yes, they were quite patient and were not surprised at all by the ATM lines. It was normal for them, but it made me realize some of conveniences I take for granted in my regular life. Access to hundreds of ATMS is not the case every where.

I love visiting ruins on my travels and these ones looks pretty great. Good tip about the umbrella - gotta have that rain and sun protection. The iguana hotel was so fun! I'd love to visit there. Kendra - they made you work for your boat trip!! 🤣 And David razzing you in the background 😂😂

Hey guys this was such an exciting episode...caves..waterfalls..cacao and iguanas...I would want to do it all🙌😍 Great tip about the ATMs, you could be waiting a loong time if you go on a Friday. You did a great job sharing the history along with your personal experiences.

I’m in Belize now! First excursion is the ATM caves and I’m a rad nervous for the water portion but I know there’ll be life vests, then the next day I’ll do the Guatemala day trip and the last day will be AJAW, iguanas and cahal pech!

what do they do for the Guatamaula day trip?

It provides shuttles across the border and shuttles after the border to the Mayan ruins in Guatemala and then to a local restaurant and shuttles back across the border to Belize

We are thinking of having our hotel, Cahal Pech Village Resort, pick us up from the airport. The cost for the 2 of us is quoted as $112.50. That seems pretty steep, but the convenience could be worth it. We are contemplating returning to Belize City via a cheaper route (bus?). Do you have any tips or logistical considerations? We will be connecting with water taxi to get to Caye Caulker.

@LucasWorldTravel 4 ай бұрын

Yes, that’s about right for a 2 hour taxi ride. We took the bus without any terrible and your hotel can tell you where to catch the bus. It’s a 15 minute walk from the bus station to the Belize Water taxi. You can use Google Maps to walk there or take a taxi.
