Itinerary Preview


Day 1: Welcome to Belize!

Private Transfer

After arrival protocols at the airport, you will proceed through customs and immigration. You’ll then exit the building and head towards the ground transportation area where you’ll meet your driver and be transferred to your accommodation via private vehicle.

Blancaneaux

Blancaneaux sits within the scenic Mountain Pine Ridge region of Belize, surrounded by rivers, waterfalls, and dense tropical forests that create a peaceful, nature-forward atmosphere. It serves as a gateway to some of the area’s most remarkable natural landmarks, including Big Rock Falls and Rio Frio Cave. Quiet, scenic, and rich in outdoor adventure, Blancaneaux offers travelers a serene base for exploring Belize’s wild interior.

Your Stay: Blancaneaux Lodge

Situated in an expansive terraced garden between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lion’s Head, the Ellerman House hotel and its two adjoining exclusive-use villas offer the best of everything Cape Town has to offer. Whether in search of the comfort and luxury of the hotel’s classically-styled rooms and suites or the bold architecture and design of the more contemporary private villas, guests are invited to sink into the heartfelt hospitality and relaxed warmth that makes Ellerman House a home.

With only 13 bedrooms and two private contemporary villas, Ellerman House excels at offering guests an intuitive and understated level of service. Enjoy the spa, contemporary art gallery, wine gallery, wine and champagne cellar, brandy lounge, BAR ROC, library, dining rooms, lounges, guest pantry, solar-heated swimming pool, fitness center, and cascading terraces during your stay.

Day 2: Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave

Cave Exploration

Today, you’ll explore one of Belize’s most famous caves. Ranked as one of the Top 10 Caves in the world By the National Geographic Magazine, the trip starts with an hour and a half drive from Blancaneaux Lodge followed by a 40-minute trek through the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve to the Cave’s Entrance. ATM Cave is only recommended for those of an adventurous spirit who have a good level of fitness.

The underground stream flows out of the cave entrance and it’s necessary to take a short swim into the cave (water depth is about 12 feet). The adventure entails hiking through the water, maneuvering through some tight spaces, and climbing over rocks to reach to the different levels. The rewards are worth it. Two small carved stelae are located above the stream, one carved in the shape of an obsidian blade and the other a stingray spine. On the next level lies the cave’s most famous occupant, the crystal maiden, an ancient victim of ritual sacrifice probably from the Late Classic Period.
