(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 08, 2009 ) Evergreen, Colo.— Aventouras, an award-winning company that specializes in active travel to Latin American destinations, is offering discounts on winter trips including Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Belize. Those long, cold winter days and nights will be here soon and travelers will be thinking of warm breezes, mountain biking, hiking beneath cloud forest canopies, swimming and splashing in waterfalls, and indulging in an adrenaline rush or two that does not require strapping on the skis. Aventouras makes that getaway more attractive with discounts up to $250 per per traveler on upcoming winter trips.
Aventouras' Experience Guatemala adventure has been noted as a "Top 50 Tours of a Lifetime" by National Geographic Traveler and includes kayaking and hiking on Lake Atitlan, a volcano climb up Volcan Pacaya, mountain biking, and concluding with a stunning three day hike through the jungle of the Mayan Biosphere to emerge at the magnificent Mayan ruins at Tikal (10 days - $2,098 before discount). Winter departures on February 12 and April 9. Individual travelers or couples receive a discount of $150 per person. A $250 discount per person is available for groups of four or more travelers. These discounts apply to winter departures to Guatemala, Costa Rica and Belize.
Hidden Costa Rica is a great choice for combining adventure and value (11 days - $1,998 before discount). Hidden Costa Rica combines world-class whitewater rafting through the pristine Pacuare River Gorge, which National Geographic has called one of the top five whitewater rivers in the world, ziplining across spans that reach 2,500' and unsurpassed wildlife viewing exploring the waterways of Tortuguero National Park. Venture to the remote slopes of Volcan Tenorio National Park to enjoy what has been touted as one of the best day hikes in Costa Rica, featuring the unique milky-blue waterfall of the Rio Celeste. End your adventure in the waves of the Pacific; surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, or just soaking in sun on the beach. Winter departures on January 8 and March 6.
Explore Belize is a perfect mix of mountains, warm weather and water, water, water (7 days - $2,290 before discount). Unlike most Belize tours that focus on the well-known and heavily visited coastal scuba diving resorts of the country, Aventouras starts by exploring the mountains, jungles, caves and rivers of western Belize before transferring to the more remote southern coast to enjoy the sea. Indiana Jones would be envious of the "once in a lifetime" experience of visiting the Maya ritual cave, Actun Tunichil Muknal, a water cave featuring delicate stone formations as well as the sacrificial skeletal remains, pottery and artifacts. The trip includes cave-tubing on jungle rivers, exploring Maya ruins, and hiking in a jaguar reserve. Enjoy white sand and blue water of the Port Honduras Marine Reserve and snorkel one portion of the Great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second longest barrier reef in the world. Winter departure February 13.
