Arrival in Belize
Introduction
Welcome to Belize! You have just arrived in this beautiful country and are ready to embark on a thrilling adventure. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking views, ancient ruins, stunning waterfalls, and exciting activities. Let’s dive right in and explore everything that Belize has to offer you.
Renting a car
To make the most of your time in Belize, renting a car is the best way to get around and explore the area at your own pace. Although it may seem pricey, it gives you the freedom to visit remote locations and discover hidden gems that may not be easily accessible by public transportation. Just be aware that if you’re under 25, like our friend Keith, you may have to pay a deposit of around four thousand dollars due to rental car regulations.
Exploring the area
Once you have your rental car, it’s time to start your adventure! As you drive through the lush landscapes of Belize, you may feel like you’ve stepped into your own version of Jurassic Park. Keep an eye out for howler monkeys, who make their presence known with their distinctive calls. Your first stop on this journey is the magnificent Mayan ruins.
Climbing Mayan Ruins
Description of the ruins
Prepare to be amazed as you arrive at the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins. These ancient structures are a testament to the ingenuity and architectural brilliance of the Mayan civilization. Explore the sprawling complex and marvel at the intricate carvings adorning the stone walls. As you climb higher, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
Climbing to the top
Challenge yourself by ascending to the top of one of the ruins. The climb may be steep, but the sense of accomplishment and the view from the summit make it all worthwhile. Don’t forget to take breaks along the way and soak in the history and beauty that surrounds you. Remember to capture these incredible moments on your camera or phone.
Capturing photos and videos
As you explore the ruins and climb to the top, don’t forget to document the experience. Take plenty of photos and videos to cherish the memories of your climb. Find the perfect angle to capture the essence of these ancient wonders and share the beauty of Belize with your friends and family. Get creative with your shots and let the ruins serve as a stunning backdrop for your photographs.
Wrapping up in a Ditch
Getting footage
After descending from the ruins, it’s time to wrap up the day’s adventures in a picturesque ditch. Take the opportunity to capture some unique footage as you explore this unexpected location. Time-lapses are perfect for capturing the changing light and the beauty of nature surrounding you. However, be careful as you navigate the terrain, as our friend Ryan may have encountered some mishaps, such as potentially breaking his foot. Safety is always a priority, so remember to take precautions and stay aware of your surroundings.
Possible injury
Despite any unexpected obstacles during the day, it’s essential to remain positive and focus on the incredible footage you were able to capture. Accidents happen, but thankfully, it doesn’t dampen the spirits of the group, including Keith and McKay. The determination to make the most out of every situation showcases the resilience and adventurous nature of the group.
Successful day
Despite any setbacks, the day was a success. The group managed to capture some stunning footage, and most importantly, they didn’t get kicked out of any locations. This is a testament to their respect for the environment and their ability to navigate their surroundings responsibly. It’s time to reflect on the day’s adventures and prepare for the next destination – Sacred Falls and 1,000 Foot Falls.
