 NEW: TAMANDUA!

Part 2 of their crisis. Let Mike and Pam transport you, in a jungle vehicle, (an adventure in itself) along the Hummingbird Highway - the most picturesque road in Belize, to the foothills of the Maya mountains where Tamandua nestles, surrounded by 4000 acres of magnificent jungle and parkland. Enjoy the serenade of the jungle chorus. Gentle walks to strenuous hikes. Find the bubbling spring in the hidden valley. At Tamandua stay in a Mayan style cabana each situated in a shady individual nook along the banks of the creek.
 
Each cabana has its own private rock lined plunge pool - a unique bathing experience; or take a shower under a banana tree looking out at the jungle from the privacy of your cabana. Sleep soundly in a four poster bed with romantic netted drapes. A paradise for bird watchers, over 240 species recorded in the area, watch hummingbirds and white-collared manakins from the breakfast table. Go caving and discover the mystical underworld of the Maya, exploring crystal caves where ancient blood-letting ceremonies were enacted 2000 years ago. Visit the lake which has five different shades of blue. Tube down the river and watch the jungle drift by.
