Venture inland to Antelope Falls for an exhilarating, adrenaline-filled day. With experienced guides, climb 1000 feet into the air, swing, and abseil back down as you try your hand at waterfall rappelling. Hike through the tropical jungle to search for pumas, ocelots, armadillos, and more of Belize’s incredible wildlife. Soar over sweeping expanses of wild and untamed scenery as you arrive into Caracol by helicopter.
