    would be possible to do just part of the tour? I would like to start in belize and finish in guatemala...

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2025

      Central America Intro 18 day would be a better fit for you. This starts in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) and ends in Antigua (Guatamala). Would you still prefer to meet us in Belize? Or meet the group in Mexico and travel there with us?

    • M

      Marlene

      Traveler•Written July 2025

      I don't have 18 days and I did Mexico already... I would like only to do belize and guatemala... Is it possible?

    • INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2025

      We can look into that. We'll need to reach out to our local team to ensure it is possible. Where will you be coming from? Logistically it will probably be easiest to meet the group in Playa Del Carmen before they head to Bacalar.

    • M

      Marlene

      Traveler•Written July 2025

      I live in Switzerland and was thinking to arrive in belize already and started from there...

    • INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2025

      If you meet us in Belize, that would mean getting yourself from the airport (Belize City) to Caye Caulker to join the group. Are you comfortable organizing those logistics and making your own way there?
