Area Daily: Belize Eco-Immersion Trip

Here’s an eco-trip that allows you to go green and contribute to a worthy cause at the same time. Elevate Destinations’ Belize Eco-Immersion trip takes you to the best eco-lodges in Belize and donates a percentage of the trip to EcoLogic, a non-profit that advances environmental conservation in Latin America.

From rainforest hiking and river rafting to snorkeling on the world’s second largest reef and exploring ancient jungle caves, this all-inclusive week, both inland and on the coast, will revel your senses. And along with adventure, you’ll spend time amongst indigenous peoples and see an abundance of wildlife including over 500 species of birds, manatee, jaguar, puma and fox.

Short-term community action/volunteering is available as part of your adventure including visiting a local primary school, meeting and hearing from members of WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) working in the area on land and marine ecology projects, and visiting Maya communities to learn about fair trade cocoa production and how it is helping local communities.

We say: where else can adventure and renewal benefit the environment and indigenous people?
