Experience Belize’s natural beauty and learn how to record it with a new, week-long tour to Amergris Caye from Frontiers International Travel, led by award-winning photographer, angler and journalist Jess McGlothlin. Participants begin the tour lodging at El Pescador Resort and fishing in the renowned waters along one of the world’s largest reefs. McGlothlin acts as chief mentor for three days of guided fishing for species including tarpon and bonefish.

The family-owned resort is built of mahogany in a traditional Colonial style, and is close to San Pedro Town. The property recently underwent an expansion and renovation of the main lodge’s 14 beachfront guestrooms.

Next up, a trip south to Copal Tree Lodge, where the tour turns to culture and photography. The luxurious, world-class lodge itself is noteworthy: Set within a 12,000-acre nature preserve, the sustainable property is included among National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World.

Photography sessions take place in the nature preserve, along with plenty of opportunities for active outings. Options include cooking classes with Copal Tree Lodge’s chef and yoga classes in the jungle. Participants choose to hike, bike, kayak or go horseback riding. Planned for Feb. 7–14, 2019, pricing begins at $4,805 per person, based on double occupancy.
