Why we love it for you: Before even arriving, the off-road driving through jungle mountains is an immediate indication that Gaia River Lodge caters to travelers with a sense of adventure. A natural swimming area at the riverbank takes the place of a manmade pool, and daily activities include escapades like river rafting or wildlife hikes. After such an epic journey, the leisurely sensations of an afternoon in the spa or lounging in your cabana only feel that much better.
After breakfast, set off on a private full-day tour that lets you experience one of the most ancient Belizean Mayan sites by canoe. It was used at one time as a burial and ceremonial site, and scenset Mayan pottery and 2000-year-old skeletal remains can still be found in the cave.

This forest was once roamed by the ancient Mayas and is currently utilized by present-day Shamans as a source for herbal remedies. As you hike through this pristine forest, adventure awaits you in the Mayan Underworld (Xibalba), a hidden cave that was once a Mayan ritual and ceremonial center. After exploring it all, enjoy a refreshing swim at Little Vaqueros Falls.
