Many travellers rent cars, and then ask where best to go. So we've created some itineraries and tested them out. This way you see the best sights - at your own pace.

How it works
We provide initial transfers, the rental car, a map and itinerary with directions, and make hotel reservations for you. You just cruise around at your speed, stopping where you want and spending as little or as much time as you want at places.

Tikal, the most famous Mayan site, is just 1 1/2 hours along relatively untrafficked roads across the Guatemalan border. It is a definitely within reach from the Mountain Pine Ridge. And Mountain Pine Ridge has a wealth of attractions, from Mayan ruins to caves and pools, to keep you busy exploring for several days.

We can tailor the length of your itinerary and rental as you want, and add extensions to Ambergris Caye, the more southerly Placencia, to make the perfect trip. Contact us!
