Winter/Spring
Belize Vacation Packages
Southern
Jungles and
Southern Seas
 Our
Southern Jungles and Southern Seas Belize vacation package starts at the very special Hickatee Cottages, located just outside Punta Gorda Town in the
southernmost Toledo District of Belize.
Hickatee is
small (only 4 very comfortable cottages), literally carved out of the
jungle, and beautifully landscaped with native southern Belize jungle
plants. Howler Monkeys call on both sides of the lodge day and
night, and the birding is wonderful -- as are the meals cooked by Kate
Morton, one of the owners of Hickatee (along with Ian, her husband).
During your
stay at Hickatee, Kate and Ian will help you plan your itinerary - maybe
touring the Lubaantun Mayan ruins and a private butterfly farm, or
kayaking Joe Taylor Creek with an expert birding and kayaking guide, or
hiking in the jungle and swimming under a jungle waterfall. (If
you've ever dreamed of diving into a pure jungle river backed by a
cascading jungle waterfall, this is your chance to indulge those Tarzan
fantasies).
 On
the fourth day of your southern Belize jungle and beach
vacation adventure, you'll take a short flight from the Punta Gorda
airstrip to Placencia Village.
Placencia is a small Creole fishing village that many people
say may be the most laid back place in Central or South
America.
(In addition to being laid back, Placencia also has the best
beaches on mainland Belize.)
Lodging
in Placencia can be in a small beach cabana, such as Las
Amigas, shown at left, Westwind Hotel, a small family-owned
beach hotel on one of Placencia's best beaches, or a first
floor beach apartment with full kitchen, living/dining area,
verandah, and wonderful hosts.
 Placencia vacation activities include a
Monkey River tour and a private snorkeling trip from a
private island (nobody there but you and your guide/chef).
