As one of the first and only jungle river expeditions in Belize you can expect a one of a kind experience.
A 30 minute hike through beautiful jungle trails will lead you to the banks of the Macal River Lagoon. A relaxed journey on board “La Capitana” will allow you the opportunity to see forest covered banks, waterfalls and natural swimming holes. The voyage is approximately a 6 mile journey where you will have the chance to swim and take pleasure in these breath-taking surroundings. You are bound to have an occasional encounter with rare wildlife such as the sleepy gigantic Tapir, River Otters, Monkeys, Toucans and more. Along the tour you will be awe struck by three majestic waterfalls.
Rio Frio Water Fall: A majestic 60 feet drop that creates the perfect swimming hole. This breath-taking spot is the designated area for lunch and swimming.
The Twin Falls: Rio On is a vast river that descends from the Mountain Pine Ridge. The twin falls have a drop of approximately 70 feet. creating one of many alluring sites throughout this splendid tour. The lush green vegetation and cliffs on either side cradle the panoramic view.
Un-named Water Fall: The ever changing un-named waterfall is never the same, always changing its shape and formation. The high levels of calcium deposits crystallize fallen leaves and twigs along with plants that are growing in the path of the constant water falling. The surface of the waterfall is smooth enough to walk comfortably and safely without shoes, which is recommended. Feel the cool waters and sand beneath your feet as you climb higher from one miniature waterfall to another, each different from each other but beautiful in their own way.
Before concluding your day's adventure, another 10 minute hike through lush vegetation will bring you to a sandy beach welcoming you to the Privasion Creek that instantly calls you for a swim. During your hike you will hear the hushing sound of the rushing water as it empties into the lagoon below. After a day of swimming, hiking and exploring, your transport will be waiting at the river banks to take you back to the hotel.
This adventure allows for private enjoyment and for an experience that truly rewards you with a deep sense of appreciation of one of Belize’s best kept secrets.
