Lamanai Jungle River Adventure
This full day adventure takes around the island
over to the mainland of Belize into the old Northern
River into the village of Bomba where our ride
awaits along the unspoiled Pan American highway.
We then board the riverboat for a leisurely tour on
the unblemished wonderland of bird life, crocodiles,
turtles, bats and orchids. Arriving on the shore of
the New River Lagoon and once ancient capital of
Lamanai (submerged crocodile), surrounded by pristine rainforest of the
area, Lunch is served by the beach. The exploration
afterwards takes you along nature paths to various
plazas with temples reaching to the heavens – again,
a reminder of the cosmological religion of this
ancient civilization, which saw the creation of both
the short (260 days) and the long count (365 days)
calendars a couple thousand years ago by sacred
shaman priest/scientists living and working in the
rainforests of Meso America. As you stroll on the
tour listen to the howls of the majestic Black
Howler Monkey.
Please remember to bring along sun block, insect
repellant and sunshades. |
