Belize Rainforest Tours & Jungle Experiences
Belize and the Petén region of Guatemala are home to one of the most biodiverse rainforests in Central America, a lush ecosystem with more tree species than the entire lower 48 United States. This vibrant jungle is filled with blooming plants, orchids, bromeliads, epiphytes, lianas, parasitic species, and the iconic leafcutter ants. Belize’s national flower, the black orchid; thrives in these tropical forests, alongside fascinating wildlife like the peanut-headed lantern beetle.
