This quirky English-speaking country holds huge appeal for John, who is at his happiest when swimming and clambering through caves strewn with archaeological relics in Xibalba – the Mayan underworld!

Located in southern Belize, the Toledo District is one of the country’s top ecotourism destinations and covers some 17,000 square miles.
Often described as the “last frontier” it comprises of half-dozen rivers, rainforests (it’s the wettest part of Belize), parks and reserves, and even more modern Maya villages; head to indigenous towns like San Pedro Columbia or Sant Antonio to learn about traditional music and textiles on your holiday to Belize.
Undoubtedly a chocolate tour is one of the must do’s in Toledo! Not only does it allow chocolate lovers to sample some of the finest cacao in its purist form, but it is wonderful to understand fully how Cacao is such an important part of the Maya culture. Today farmers in the district grow cacao beans for small and large-scale chocolate production – even supplying the UK-based chocolate company, Green & Blacks. We would also suggest lunch with a local Maya family in Punta Gorda, which is a huge amount of fun and a wonderful insight into the culture.
