From the Archives: A look back at the Camel Trophy of 1995

2012 is the year of the Maya and as Belize observes the Mayan Calendar, we went digging in our archives for a feature story first aired in 1995. It is known as the Camel Trophy. The Competition aimed to market Camel products, land rover automobiles and pay homage to the Mundo Maya territories. The three week intense journey through Central America commenced in Belize. The forty sportsmen braved the rugged terrain and the dry weather in the Jewel and in the end, only one mud-covered vehicle and its team of drivers emerged victorious. The competition opened at the Pre-Classic Mayan Temple in Lamanai.
