Unravel the mysteries of the ancient Mayan civilisation, get hot and steamy in the jungles of Belize, snorkel in an underwater paradise and walk barefoot on the white sand beaches of the Caribbean during a 16-day �Ruta de Maya� camping tour exploring Mexico, Guatemala and Belize with adventure specialist TrekAmerica, next departure from Cancun 23rd May 2005 (other dates available).

Visit the major centres of ancient Mayan culture, Chichen Itza and Uxmal, and modern-day Mayan descendants too, in the capital of Yucatan, Merida, before crossing into the tropical rainforests of Belize.

Travel by boat to the idyllic tropical island of Cay Caulker for a 3-night stay and an opportunity to explore the diverse wildlife, both above and below the water.

Next, Guatemala for one of the highlights of the tour, the World Heritage site of Tikal, arguably the most spectacular ruins in the Mayan world. Get hot and steamy in the tropical jungle setting of Belize�s San Ignacio, making explorations by canoe down the Macal River.

Finally, back to Mexico and the coastal ruins of Tulum, the only Mayan City built along the sea. Spend the last few days swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving in the turqouise waters of the Caribbean, or simply watch the world go by from a hammock slung between palm trees at the edge of a white sandy beach.

The tour costs �861 p/p plus $112 (~�62) food kitty including travel aboard TrekAmerica�s customised V8 maxivan, camping accommodation plus 3 hotel stays, jungle canoe trip, boat trip to Cay Caulker and the expertise of TrekAmerica�s experienced driver/guide.
