Start your journey zipping up the coast of Belize City via boat before cruising through River Wallace. River Wallace has a rich history and was named during the New World's Conquistador rule. Mayan traders and British loggers used this famous river as the main transportation route for exporting mahogany wood. The river comes alive with its local wildlife, so get your camera ready to capture the scenic views and exotic animals, such as the iguanas, howler monkeys and crocodiles that call River Wallace home.

You'll continue your journey northeast and pass through the historic village of Burrell Boom, which lies just 20 miles from Belize City. This historic village dates back to the 18th century and was once a haven for loggers who settled in the area. The loggers created the anchor and chains that gave this historic settlement its namesake and called them booms. The boom and anchors worked to retain floating logs, and you can still catch a glimpse of this piece of history in the village's center at Burrell Boom Park.
