In the hustle and bustle of the modern world, even our vacations can turn into non-stop hectic races to get from one place to another, to see as many sights as possible, or to check off as many birds as we can on our life list. To counter this, we offer our unique Mindful Birding and Yoga tour in Belize. A small country nestled between Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea, Belize is a land of bright green mangroves and turquoise blue seas; lush tropical jungles and exotic wildlife. Due to its location along key migration routes and its rich biodiversity and varying habitats, Belize is, without a doubt, a birder’s paradise. However, it is also a paradise for anyone interested in hiking, in the exploration of ancient cultures, in wilderness and wildlife observation, and in simple relaxation.

Our Belize: Mindful Birding and Yoga tour is an 8-day excursion and will be slightly different from a typical birding tour. We will take our time to truly enjoy the beauty and wonder of the birds we do see and will spend some time observing their behavior and learning more about them. Along the way, we will visit breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers and winding jungle trails. We will have a chance to see some rare birds such as Orange-breasted Falcon, King Vulture, and Violet Sabrewing, and will look for harder to see species such as Stygian Owl and Black-and-white Hawk Eagle.

An Intro to Yoga in Paradise

Additionally, a certified Yoga instructor will be present throughout this tour to provide optional group classes each afternoon when birds and other wildlife are less active. All Yoga activities are included in the price of the tour. Whether you have  a long-standing Yoga practice, or are interested in experiencing Yoga for the first time, we will offer gentle yoga classes that fit everyone’s needs. Yoga enhances the practice of mindful birding in a positive way.

Finally, there will be plenty of time for you to explore the forested trails, swim in the cool blue pools of the river, or relax in a beautiful setting, perhaps sipping a cool drink beneath the shade of rainforest trees.

Throughout our journey, we will be staying in some of the most luxurious resorts in the most beautiful settings in the country. Most of them are nestled inside a forest or along a river’s edge – ideal spots for immersion in nature, birding, relaxation, and Yoga!
