Hubby and I went to Tikal two years ago. It was awesome. But, last summer there were some security problems inside the park itself. I personally would not go independently, but rather with a reputable tour group and registered guide. As far as "armed to the teeth", all one has to do is be in a US aiport to see the same thing. You just have to decide for yourself if you want to and are willing to do it. ..It's totally a personal decision. Tip: If you do go, go REALLy early, the park gets super crowded as the day wears on. Also, it's cooler in the morning. And go with a registered guide, as you won't get much out of it on your own. Our guide told us the entire history of the buildings, the story of the Mayans, info. about the surrounding jungle and animal life. And it's easy to get lost too. It's a HUGE park. Paths are confusing. ...Have fun, if you go!

For our cliets who do Tikal tours, we use "Avinsa" they are EXCELLENT. They do pick up from anywhere in Belize (let someone who know the area do the driving). What we usually do is have them either pick up clients or drop them off back in Belize, and fly one way.
Yes the South of Belize has a lot to offer.
Hi, trina I would suggest the Orange Walk area. There is a lot to offer there. In particular there is the Lamanai Outpost lodge that offers exactly what you're looking for. You can contact me if you need more info at [email protected]
