5Amazing jungle adventure w Edgar
Fantastic adventure. Saw a wild boar, tarantula, gorgeous bright blue butterfly, jaguar claw marks, and finished with a cool dip in a gorgeous waterfall, followed by a delicious Belizean meal. Edgar was a fantastic guide. Bright, humorous, informative. He made it a marvelous adventure we’ll never forget.
5Waterfall and river tubing
Edgar took our group on the river tubing and waterfall hike. He might tell you flip flops are fine for this hike and that he did it barefoot twice, I recommend good soled water shoes or hiking sandals. The river tubing was fun but active as water levels were a bit low. Edgar is a great guide: he picked us up at our rental house, got us waters, introduced us to country reggae in the van, brought us to a great local spot for lunch and has endless facts about Belize. Highly recommend!!!
5Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary
Edgar was an amazing guide. He is a wealth of knowledge and very personable. He was able to point out plant species and evidence of animal activity that we would not have even noticed on our own. We took the tour for my wife’s birthday and the day was very special, from the amazing scenery on the hike and tubing to the wonderful Mayan cuisine for lunch. Thank you, Edgar and thank you Untame Belize!
5What a fun time even in the rain!
Edgar was such an amazing tour guide. He is so knowledgeable and shared so much information about both the native plants and animals. He did his very best to make sure that we saw everything that we wanted to see. I never did see any howler monkeys, but he pointed out their calls. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so they were hiding in the tree tops, but he made sure that we saw toucans and that made my day! You have to carry your tube so be prepared for that. In our case it helped keep us dry, that is until it poured down rain while we were floating down the river. Edgar tried to keep us dry under some trees, but we eventually just gave in and floated in the rain. It eventually stopped raining and we enjoyed the hike to the waterfall while drying off.
5Wonderful Tours and Un-Belizeable Guide
Our family just returned from a trip to Belize which included two tours provided by Untame Belize: Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary and Xunantunich/Cave Tubing. Both tours were led by Edgar who did a fantastic job! He was informative, enthusiastic and shared his passion for the area, local food and the specific touring sites in a manner that made our interesting and insightful trips even more enjoyable! We would highly recommend Untame and, specifically, Edgar!!
4We had a great day
This tour had the ideal length of time! We had the choice to first walk to ben’s bluff (for the view) and then take the refreshing swim at the waterfall. The guide was very helpful to find me a tamanduo, but we had no luck :( Then the tubing is just so much fun and relaxing at the same time! One little thing: although the plan was explained online, I wish they told us the schedule of the day at the beginning of the day, but we had to ask them all the time and what stuff to bring everytime

About Placencia
Placencia is a village on a long, narrow peninsula in southern Belize, with a Caribbean beach on one side, a lagoon on the other and reef islands offshore.
The Placencia peninsula runs roughly 25 km south from the mainland between the Caribbean Sea and a lagoon, and the village sits near its southern tip. A concrete footpath called the Sidewalk serves as its main street, lined with guesthouses, bars and dive shops. The beach of pale sand faces east, and offshore the Belize Barrier Reef shelters small islands known as cayes.
