Chocolate Bliss
May 18 - 25, 2020
Don’t miss the Chocolate Festival of Belize!! This seven-night package is sure to have your soul melting like good chocolate. The Chocolate Festival of Belize dates are May 22 thru 24, 2020, so your travel dates can be somewhat flexible around these three days. You will enjoy a true cultured experience of the Toledo District in Belize. In addition to basking in all things chocolate you will explore the sea while snorkeling with the chef at Copal Tree Lodge, taking a swim in the Hokeb Ha Cave (aka – Blue Creek Cave), hiking around some Maya ruins at Lubaantun, and even making your own chocolate bar. To help yourself relax from all the activity you can book yourself a spa treatment at Copal Tree Lodge. You can also enjoy many of the free amenities at Copal Tree Lodge such as kayaking, canoeing, going to the gym, mountain biking, and hiking. Do not forget to save some time to visit the famous Maya Bags. You will book your own international air ticket into Belize, and we’ll take it from there!
