Slow morning on the veranda, then Cahal Pech or Xunantunich before the afternoon heat.

02

River days & cave mornings

ATM Cave with a trusted guide, then Rio On Pools or a cold Belikin back at basecamp.

03

Dinner in town

Guava Limb for date night, street tacos near the market when you want fast and local.
