Sports and leisure activities Punta Gorda

Bruno is a fanatic about exploring the wild corners of the district and the country. With him, we venture to archaeological areas (Uxbenka, Nim Li Punit) whose visits can be combined with cultural or natural attractions, such as little-visited caves (Yok Balum Cave, Tiger Cave, Gibnut Cave, Oke'Bal Ha) and waterfalls. Jungle expeditions lasting several days will delight the most intrepid, as will climbing the country's highest mountain.

For over fifteen years, the Garbutt brothers, Scully, Oliver and Eworth, have been guiding fishermen in the waters of Punta Gorda, east to Sapodilla Cayes and north to Placencia. Having worked for several lodges in the region, they now own their own fishing lodge, Garbutt's Fishing Lodge. A fishing-oriented operation with the best location in southern Belize. In addition to fishing, the Garbutt brothers offer snorkeling and diving.

Founded in 1990, the company's aim is to develop ecotourism in the Toledo District, while employing and training local people, so as to include them in the fast-growing tourism industry. Tide Tours offers a wide range of excursions, all of which are highly professional and respectful of the environment. Explore the seabed from Toledo to Port Honduras or Sapodilla (scuba diving or snorkeling), discover the Mayan vestiges of Lubaantun, or learn to make chocolate like the Mayans of yesteryear.

Ronald Raymond McDonald is the founder and director of this Garifuna percussion school. A percussionist since the age of 3, he decided in 2010 to share his talents with amateurs by setting up this school and spreading his knowledge. You can learn to play the instrument, learn how to build your own, or attend live performances. A must for all Garifuna music fans.
