CENTRAL AMERICA BACKPACKING TRIP | Ep1: Mexico & Belize
Episode 1 • Dec 14, 2018
In this first episode I fly into Cancun, Mexico, then made my way to Tulum to check out the cenotes. After this I chilled out at the beautiful Lake Bacalar before crossing the border into Belize. Caye Caulker island was a great place to chill and party, as well as do some incredible snorkelling. From here I took a 3 day island-hopping boat tour with Ragamuffin tours along the Belize Barrier Reef.
CENTRAL AMERICA BACKPACKING TRIP | Ep2: Belize & Guatemala
Episode 2 • Dec 20, 2018
In this second video I head inland through Belize to San Ignacio, exploring the Caracol ruins by jeep. Then I crossed the border into Guatemala, staying in the beautiful town of Flores to visit the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal. Next stop was the beautiful Semuc Champey, stunning waterfalls in the jungle-filled mountains. I stayed at the Zephyr Lodge in Lanquin which was a fun but dangerous place for your bank account.
CENTRAL AMERICA BACKPACKING TRIP | Ep3: Guatemala
Episode 3 • Dec 28, 2018
In this final video I went to Antigua and got to roast some marsh-mellows on Pacaya volcano. I then did a 3 day trek from Xela to Lake Atitlan, hiking through cloud forests, corn fields, small villages and staying with local families. At Lake Atitlan I got to try out horse-riding for the first time before finishing up my trip at El Paredon on the Pacific Coast.
