Here is the Caribbean of reggae rhythms, world-class diving and ancient Mayan ruins. Where brilliant coral reefs teem with marine jewels – blue angelfish, yellow tangs, iridescent parrot fish! And the great stone temples of Belize, Guatemala and Honduras give rise to wonder. Why did the Maya so mysteriously disappear? It’s something to reflect upon during this relaxing discovery tour.
