Custom Faculty-Led Group Study Trips in Belize

This experience has been a wonderful introduction to Belize. The individuals we met and the presentations we heard were passionate about Belize and patient with us to share their experiences and culture with us. And our guides were wonderful and kind.

Our experience with Loop Abroad/CELA was so impactful. The staff made our experience an easy one, being flexible and creative in providing the best possible experience for what was (for many of our students) their first time in a new country.

Our Belize trip provided our university students an incredible cultural experience. The hospitality, culture, conversations, and community visits were hands down one of a kind. We loved our time and I am excited to return.

The trip was wonderful. The staff are incredibly informative and made the experience local and informative. They were always so helpful and really brought the energy everytime we worked with them. I'm so grateful to have had them on the trip.

Before this trip I didn't know about education abroad. Everything from the places to the people was amazing! I feel so prepared for my graduate school and possible work abroad. This experience will stay with me forever.

I had no idea how much Belize had to offer. I've learned so much and I never had to worry about my safety. They were so good at being flexible when the unexpected came. If you get the chance, sign up with CELA Belize

This was my first time studying abroad and I felt so safe and cared for. I could tell that everyone cared about my education and my love for this country. Belize is beautiful and changed my perspective of the world.

CELA provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. As a second generation Carribean myself, this trip gave me the chance to explore, compare, and contrast my own experience with those of the indigenous peoples. Through cultural exploration, I was able to leave with a greater understanding of our relation to the land, and food and community as pedagogy. This trip changed my life.

This trip was honestly so eye-opening. I got to see and experience things I never imagined. I made an amazing group of friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore different cultures.

It was an experience a wide variety of majors can benefit from. I learned so much about different cultues and their histories. Definitely an eye opener. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything ever.

This was life changing, even as a chaperone. I never pictured myself enjoying a tropical location, but I fell in love with the people, the culture, and the atmosphere. I didn't want it to end. I found myself saying "I can't believe I'm experiencing this." The staff also made the trip unforgettable. Thank you for making my trip magical!

I am sad it's come to an end, but I hope to stay connected and hope life gives me the opportunity to come back.

This program provided the opportunity for me to grow and gain perspective. So much knowledge was shared and so many connections were built. If anyone has an opportunity to partake, I highly recommend. I know I'd do it again.

The itinerary is well rounded and the guides are very knowledgeable. While it is very fast-paced there is some downtime placed here and there. Every place we stayed was different than the last which made the trip more exciting.

This was an amazing opportunity provided by WUU through CELA and Loop Abroad. I loved learning about the rich history of Belize. It is important for students to learn about global diversity in our world.

The staff at CELA Belize have been absolutely wonderful at all levels. Maureen listened to our needs and together with other staff helped us design the ideal trip for our students. The staff on the ground really made our trip so special. We will never forget them and are grateful. We loved our week in Belize and everything we did.

The trip was more magical than I could have ever imagined. The staff, the food, the people, and the country were simply amazing. We were welcomed with such a warm embrace both metaphorically and physically.

Life in Belize was such a fruitful experience that taught me so much about the Maya people and our own lives in the Western world as a contrast. I had as much fun with all our group members and our guides and teachers. Everyone made it a really fun and safe and caring and thoughtful experience. Staff was instrumental in this all throughout.

This experience helped me to explore my own cultural identity as someone who has never been able to travel to my home country. There are lots of overlap with Belizean and Filipino culture and it was really impactful for me. Thank you.

Visiting Belize has been nothing but amazing and beautiful. This trip is so valuable to my own life as learning about the connection of land is so important to me. The Maya are resilient people that I am taking many lessons from them.

This trip has given me so much to think about and take home. It's completely expanded my worldview to make me realize there is so much more to life than the "Western" view of living. I can't wait to return to the community and give back to them. What they gave me I will carry forward the rest of my life.
