LA RUTA MAYA
La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge was founded in 1998 as an activity to increase awareness on keeping the rivers clean. The event has turned into a popular annual canoe race where teams from Belize and abroad compete for bragging rights. Each team spends several thousand dollars and have support teams that travel down the river to drop supplies and set up camp. Teams enjoy the camaraderie of the annual event as they see old and new friends on the river.
