Exploring Belize’s Mainland: Day Trips from Casa Al Mar

September 25, 2024

While Belize is famous for its turquoise waters and stunning coral reefs, a whole world of inland beauty and adventure is waiting to be explored. Staying at Casa Al Mar doesn’t just mean enjoying the serene views of the Caribbean Sea—it also means access to exploring Belize and the lush mainland, full of rich history, vibrant culture, and thrilling experiences. With Casa Al Mar as your home base, you and your group can embark on inland day trips that show off the country’s diverse natural beauty.

Discover the Ancient Maya Sites 

Belize is home to some of Central America’s most remarkable Maya ruins. From Casa Al Mar, you can head inland and visit sites like Xunantunich, Altun Ha, or Lamanai, where you’ll find towering temples surrounded by dense jungle. These archaeological treasures offer a glimpse into the advanced civilization that once thrived in this region. Walking through these ancient cities, you can learn about Maya culture, architecture, and spirituality, with the opportunity to climb to the top of the ruins for panoramic rainforest views.

Thrills of Cave Tubing while Exploring Belize 

For adventure seekers, one of the must-try experiences is cave tubing. Picture yourself floating along the crystal-clear waters of an underground river, gliding through dark, winding caves that have been naturally carved out over millennia. Cave tubing offers a unique way to explore Belize’s extensive cave systems, and it’s a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Your guide will lead you through the caves while sharing fascinating stories about the Maya, who once used these caves for sacred rituals. This adventure is just a day trip away from Casa Al Mar and will surely add excitement to your tropical vacation.
