Cayo District, Belize
Stay: Chaa Creek (2 nights)
Belize is famed for its Caribbean beaches and turquoise sea, but head further inland and you'll discover Cayo District's vast variety of wild and wonderful experiences; jagged limestone hills; boulder-strewn rivers and creeks; and low, emerald mountains where tapirs, peccaries and jaguars roam free. Dotted with Maya ruins – from Cahal Pech, Xunantunich, and El Pilar, to the mother of all Belizean Maya sites – Caracol – you'll also encounter the 107,000-acre Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. Offering a little respite from the hotter lowlands, it's Belize's oldest, largest protected forested area, and a sharp contrast to its tropical landscape.
