Local travel agency in Belize
Mayan Zone, your local agency based in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Our story
Belize reveals itself at a measured pace: coral reef, dense jungle, forgotten Maya sites and Creole villages with slow rhythms. Our agency was born from a deep connection to this small Central American country, still off the beaten path, and a desire to showcase it differently.
Locally based, our team builds each trip directly from Belize, drawing on a network of guides, lodges and partners carefully selected over the years. We work on a human scale, committed to creating coherent itineraries—from jungle trekking to cultural stays, including family vacations—rather than standardized circuits.
Alexis, your on-the-ground correspondent, accompanies English-speaking travelers from initial contact through their return home. He knows the local players, the seasons, the nuances between the Cayes, the Cayo District and the southern Garifuna region, and tailors each itinerary to travelers' pace and preferences.
Here, we don't replicate standard itineraries. We design trips that reflect who you are.
Our agency is a member of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Belize, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, protection of deposited funds, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus get the best of both worlds: the proximity of an on-ground team and the security of a protective legal framework.
Belize offers a true sense of freedom. You can go from a tropical jungle to a coral reef in the same day, while keeping that feeling of simple, natural travel.

Frequently asked questions about the agency
Do you still have questions? Here are the most frequently asked questions about how our agency works.
Mayan Zone designs your trip directly in Belize, with advisors who know the ground daily. You avoid intermediaries, gain in responsiveness and benefit from advice on genuinely lived experiences — no standardized marketing catalog.
Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.
Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).
Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.
Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.
Payment is made in full in France, in euros, with Nomadays — secured by credit card or bank transfer. You have no payments to make in Belize: everything is pre-arranged (accommodations, transfers, guides, activities). You just need to budget for meals outside the itinerary and personal purchases.
