Hiking in Belize

There are some fantastic hiking trails in Belize, although most of the hiking available is actually on the way to another activity, such as a Mayan ruin or Mayan ceremonial cave. Most of the maintained trails are in the jungle, and a competent guide should point out the local plants and their medicinal uses, as well as jungle birds and animals. All you need are comfortable clothes - long-sleeve and long-leg, hiking shoes, a water bottle, insect repellent, and a camera.
