Join a vibrant, small group of open-hearted women on a transformative journey through Belize’s most captivating landscapes from the coast to the lush inland jungle. Stay in spacious treehouses at a boutique oceanfront resort, visit a Mayan family’s small organic coffee farm, and cruise down a river in search of crocodiles, manatees, and tropical birds before hiking into the forest to spot monkeys. Spend a day on a private island with pristine beaches perfect for snorkeling and relaxation, savor a food tour led by a Belizean-raised expat who knows every local hotspot, and cross a hand-cranked ferry to reach the ancient Maya ruins of Xunantunich. Learn about cacao at a Mayan-owned chocolatier before wandering a beautiful spice farm. Discover one of the most unexpectantly diverse and rich cultures while meeting a group of new and positive friends.

Welcome the incredibly diverse and beautiful country of Belize, where the jungle meets the Caribbean Sea. Transfer from Belize City to the tropical Placencia Penninsula. Settle into our home for the week, a boutique resort featuring spacious treehouses just steps from the sea, surrounded by lush plants and tropical flowers.

A boat will take us down the flourishing Monkey River. As we make our way through mangrove estuaries, keep your eyes peeled for manatee, crocodiles and tropical birds.

Keep your eyes open for monkeys and giant iguanas in this mystical place.

After lunch, our group will head to a very off the beaten path coffee farm run by a Mayan family. Here we will learn about their traditional ways of living and growing coffee and we will have a hands on demonstration of how to grind coffee the way it has been done for centuries. This experience is more special than words can describe.

After a long day, coming back to the relaxing resort will be the perfect way to end the evening.
