2020 Conrad Schools of Science Belize Conservation Expedition
Belize Conservation Expedition
Balanced on the geographical and cultural border between the Caribbean and the rest of Central American, Belize is a small, sparsely populated, and often overlooked destination. But to those in the know, Belize offers a wonderful array of adventure and intrigue. The thick jungles of the western districts are some of the most pristine in all of Central America, which not only harbor a wide array of wildlife but also hide the secrets of old, fallen empires buried under centuries of tropical growth. Beyond the lush forests, Belize’s coastline is home to the largest coral reef system in the Western Hemisphere. The clear blue waters, white sand beaches, and friendly locals make it a tropical paradise unlike any other.

The Itinerary
We do everything possible to abide by itineraries as originally planned, but decades of experience teaches that we must be flexible in our planning. Changes to a trip’s schedule are uncommon, but Walking Tree reserves the right to make adjustments to programming in the best interest of the group.

This being my first experience with an international trip for my child I have nothing to compare it to. However I feel Walking Tree did an excellent job from conception to completion with informing me on costs, what to expect, safety concerns, and sharing the experience through their blog. While I was worried about how safe my child would be on a trip… on the other side of the world, she told me that she felt safer than school safe.
