San Ignacio, Belize (PRWEB) May 12, 2010 -- Mountain Equestrian Trails (MET) is pleased to announce their new “Sapodilla Survival Training” package for groups of 10-12. The 11-night, 12-day package includes camping, horseback riding, river and dry-cave exploration, swimming, bird-watching, sea kayaking, snorkeling and much more. The focus will be for participants to learn survival techniques in a jungle setting and on the Belizean cayes. The new survival training package is a perfect alternative for travelers who are looking for a unique learning and cultural experience when they visit Belize.

The group will visit Mayan ruins, hang out with a Maya family, and spend some time in local villages. Participants will learn about the use of rainforest medicinal plants, and the practical use of plants and natural resources for making shelter and finding food. After seven days inland, the group will drive down the Hummingbird Highway, stopping at the Blue Hole for a refreshing swim, arriving at the beach in Placencia where they will stay for three nights. One of those nights will be spent camping overnight at an isolated caye. Survival techniques for this portion will be learning to navigate, orienteering, making fire, finding and cooking food. Other activities are swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and sailing.

for those interested, MET is the real place run by the author of Belize Survivor, after she managed to escape from her husband... in the book, it has a different name, (I forget what)

Sounds like something potential Survivor contestants should attend. It's a hoot, watching an episode of survivor with Fernando or Samuel -- they are absolutely mystified that the contestants can't find food, with all the plants and critters around them. They keep pointing out something, animal or vegetable, and asking "Why don't they eat that?"
