BELIZE ADVENTURE SINGLES VACATION

AUGUST 19th - 29th, 2026 10-nights with domestic air, transfers, daily breakfast - $2,679 Group international air option to be posted some time in October This will be our 10th trip to this incredible Central American country and it makes for a wonderful adventurous vacation. We've always sold this trip out and one year had enough interest to run 2 back-to-back trips of 42 people each! This trip is almost like 2 vacations since we'll have 5-nights on the mainland and then 5-nights on Ambergris Caye and they are so completely different. Most people think of Belize only as a diving resort, but it’s way more. The mainland offers an amazing jungle with many ruins, archeological sites and very unique adventure tours. Belize’s interior is a 65-percent uninhabited wonderland of deep jungle rain forest, exotic native species, and myriad Mayan temples. But certainly it is also home to the worlds second-largest barrier reef. With this trip we will start off with 5-nights at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel (read more below). This hotel has beautiful rooms and is right in the center of San Ignacio, walking distance to many restaurants which will make our dining, shopping and dancing very convenient. Our group will be completely taking over this hotel which should be a lot of fun. It also features an award winning restaurant. It will be the perfect base for all the adventure tours to be found nearby including an amazing site of Mayan ruins called Xunantunich. This ancient Mayan city rose to prominence and declined between AD 700 to 1000. A well developed site, Xunantunich is on the Belize.com Top Ten Maya Sites of Belize list. This area of Belize, San Ignacio, features 2 of the best optional tours you will ever take in your lifetime. One of those is a tour that will have you floating on an innertube through 7 miles of underground river caves with only your headlamp to light your way. It's a very cool tour that's a ot of fun. There are plenty of guides accompanying us too if you'd like to hang on to one. [Click here to check out my video](https://youtu.be/temB6T5N1H0). The other tour is a visit to an incredible cave that's called Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short) which is one of the only caves that has not been looted that has all the original pottery is exactly how it was left hundreds of years ago and even had a skeleton of a child that has been molded to the floor with hundreds of years of calcification! It's a tour you will never forget. [Click here to check out my video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mh56g35CZM&t=30s) From National Geographic: In myths, journeys to the underworld are never easy, and after visiting Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Stone Sepulchre), you may feel that you have been through your own epic test. Access to the Maya sacrificial site within the cave involves hiking, wading, and underwater swimming, but nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers) underground you will reach the resting place of the “crystal maiden,” a complete female skeleton that sparkles from eons of crystal calcification. The cave also contains Maya pottery shards, many showing the “kill hole” intended to allow spirits to escape. Another fun day that we'll organize is a tour called Mountain Pine Reserve. This is an amazing day filled with waterfalls swimming and beautiful scenery. There's also optional tours offered at the hotel including horseback riding, zip lining, canoeing and more. After our 5-days on the mainland it's island time. We’ll fly over to Ambergris Caye in small prop planes for the next 5 nights. This long, slender island is just inside the famous barrier reef with excellent visibility and coral reefs. This is home to some of the best diving in the world such as Lighthouse Atoll and the famous Blue Hole! [Click here to check out my video](https://youtu.be/6mh56g35CZM?si=zAZzVYkjPFONxU2N) that's had 38,000 views! . Our hotel has a dive shop with nice boats on-site making your dives really convenient. There’s also a variety of tours available and fun little shops and restaurants to enjoy, plus great nightlife! One of the best tours takes us island hopping with a couple of snorkel stops and lunch on a small island called Goff's Caye where we may be the only people there! And one of the best snorkel destinations you'll ever visit is called Hol Chan, just a short boat trip from our hotel that we'll have in our itinerary. You can also rent a golf cart and take your own tour of the island which is a lot of fun. It's also fun to take a bike ride or golf cart tour to explore the island and check out some of the other resorts on the island with beautiful pools, drinks and lunch. Our resort there, called Sunbreeze, is located on a beautiful stretch of beach, has a nice pool, their own dive shop, bar and restaurant and is located a short walk from town. We’ll snorkel, scuba dive and party on this great trip. Think it might be too hot in the summer? It’s actually not bad at all. This is the time of year we've always gone to Belize and it's always been great. $200 deposit to sign up. Early signups will get the better rooms. **INCLUDES:** * 10-nights hotel accommodations * Domestic flights to/ from Ambergris Caye * All Ground Transportation * Daily breakfast **DOES NOT INCLUDE:** International air **SINGLE SUPPLEMENT** (if you prefer your own room) $1,100 [Click here](https://www.singlesinparadise.com/Tour_info_22.pdf) for the tour info from our last trip [ Click here ](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzz8pf)to see photos from our last Belize trip THIS TRIP IS BEING OFFERED BY [SINGLES IN PARADISE](https://www.singlesinparadise.com/index.html) [CLICK HERE ](https://www.singlesinparadise.com/singlestrips_belize2026)TO VISIT THE OFFICIAL WEBPAGE FOR THIS TRIP CALL 800.954.5453 to speak with someone about this trip

Upon arrival at the train station, a private vehicle will be waiting to transfer you to the city of Cusco. Once in Cusco, enjoy a guided visit to two of the city's most important historical and cultural landmarks. Begin at the Cusco Cathedral, located in the main square and renowned for its stunning colonial architecture, intricate woodwork, and priceless collection of colonial and religious art. Your guide will provide insight into the cathedral's rich history and the fusion of Catholic and Andean traditions.

So to make it fun and manageable, we’re starting with 10k steps as a challenge—and we may increase the goal in future events. **THE IMPORTANT POINTS ARE THESE;** Space is limited, so **please RSVP only if you’re 100% sure you’ll attend.** 🙏🏾If you RSVP and don’t show, you will be 🚩Red Flagged 🚩for future events—we all appreciate reliability and respect for others' abilities to get a spot to walk!🙏🏾 Expect to hit somewhere between **10,000–12,000 steps (approximately 7.5-9 miles),** depending on the pace and group.

Down the Coast to the Marine Mammal Care Center (all scooters)

SInce it's been a bit warm lately, let's hit the beach and see the sea while checking in on -- and maybe even learning a little thing or two about \-\- the local sea life\! Our route is an easy ride down the coast from Marina del Rey, through the Beach Cities, around/through the Palos Verdes peninsula, to the [Marine Mammal Care Center](https://marinemammalcare.org/). They've been rescuing and rehabilitating seals and sea lions there since 1992. Admission and parking are free (but donations are welcomed). Afterwards, we will continue to lunch at the longstandng (since 1962) San Pedro icon, Sorrento's Pizza House. (They don't have a website; for reference, here's their menu on [Uber Eats](https://www.ubereats.com/store/sorrentos-restaurant/Mq6VHj19TyS0Ok5c0nqyIw) or [Postmates](https://postmates.com/store/sorrentos-restaurant/Mq6VHj19TyS0Ok5c0nqyIw).) There's no minimum engine size, but there are some high-speed sections (45+ mph) and hills (in the Palos Verdes area) so keep that in mind. Tentative Route Map: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zU7EnvvS8x9tj3kTA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zU7EnvvS8x9tj3kTA) Please only RSVP +1 for additional riders, not passengers. \*\*\*\*Please show up with a full tank of gas, as always, and a scooter in good running condition. There will be NO fuel stops on this ride. The route is approximately 40 miles. \*\*\*\* If this will be your first ride, please comment "1st ride" so we can send you a copy of the LASG Official Policies and Group Riding Guidelines.
