Belize why go

Go to experience the amazing Garifuna people, authentic local culture, and rustic village vibes. My favorite place! Find the best deals on Hopkins accommodation here! A must on your itinerary. Click here for the best prices on Caye Caulker hotels.

The food and specifically, the seafood here is local and delicious. Click here to find the best deals on hotels in Placencia. Xunantunich , Caracol , and Cahal Pech are my top three picks, in that order. Plus, if you have extra time, you can easily drive across the border into beautiful Guatemala to discover more Maya sites — including Tikal , home of the tallest and most impressive pre-Columbian structure in the Americas.

I highly recommend hiring a car to get around — that way, you can see all the ruins and explore all of the nature parks and rainforest as you wish. The cuisine of Belize is a melting pot, just like its population. Rich in color, spice, and cultural-backgrounds, most foods in Belize have melded together and are now just considered pan-Belizean food.

I can count on one hand how many people I know who have been to Belize. Chances are, you can do the same.

Not to mention, Belize has a reputation for being dangerous more on that below. Unspoiled beaches, lush jungles, rich and authentic culture, endless adventure, pristine reefs, friendly locals, delicious food, and uncrowded Maya ruins all await you in Belize. Without thousands of other travelers!

You just have to be adventurous enough to book the ticket and go. You may have heard that Belize is not safe. Like anywhere else in Central America or the world, for that matter , Belize is safe, as long as you stay smart and vigilant! If you do those things, you will be fine! More than fine, really, because if you go to Belize, you are in for the trip of a lifetime! Belize is one of the most beautiful, adventurous, and culturally rich places on the planet. I paid for the optional activities like the Iguana Sanctuary and the Blue Hole flight.

I had not spent much time in Central America or the Caribbean prior, and was unsure of how I would enjoy my visit to Belize. I was there myself about 7 years ago and it surprisingly became one of my favourite memories from Belize. Do you have any other experiences similar to the Iguana Project that you would recommend visiting if we are given the chance? Eco-conservatism projects are totally worthwhile checking out as we make our way around the planet. Oh my, that iguana whisperer photo is amazing.

Punta Gorda and Placencia are really nice and off the beaten path as far as Belize goes. Very very informative. I love the Blue Hole shots and of course those iguanas…prehistoric for sure.

Snakes…ah, not so much. Thanks for the info! This looks amazing! But it looks absolutely stunning. And what a story! Humped by a reptile! Strike that. I need to know more! And delicious! I love your insight! A place to dream of!

A friend of mine did her semester abroad in Belize and I was so so jealous! This post has revived those yearnings to visit. Great photos! Also, iguanas are totally awesome!! My wife and I absolutely loved our trip to Belize — 5 days in the jungle and 5 on the ocean back in ? Came face-to-face with a whale shark and saw the blue hole at feet!

You really should get your scuba training! I took up skydiving instead. Oh well, looks like I will defintiely have to go back! Plus I want to check out Caye Caulker in the future, too. Jodi, the pictures are incredible — just a few would be enough to get convinced ; It makes my heart slightly cringe though, as I almost stepped on that beautiful soil 2 years back, but a very unfortunate reason stopped me from doing it last minute: visa.

I need one, but it was impossible to get one in Germany where I stay now , as the Belize consulate simply ceased to exist :P. You forgot to mention that Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America.

Makes it a very easy destination. Fair enough though :. Nice pics; heading to belize. The iguanas do look nice-but I already have one at home. Absolutely stunning! Thank you for giving an informative description of its history as well, I have never heard of Belize before.

Belize is definitely going on my list Oh yeah, i am staying away from iguana :D , will just love it from afar… PS: You are so beautiful! Are the snorkel tours there good do you know? Is this part of Belize safe to buy a beach front home? Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize. My boyfriend and I are interested in traveling here, when is the best time of year? Hi Lorenzo, I am looking for a tropical get away for our 20th anniversary.

Where would you recommend we stay? Hi, I would like to purchase a Beach Front Property preferebly a house at Belize and after checking different posts on this website and others it looks to me that my best bet would be at the Southeast part of the country more specifically the Plasencia Peninsula. I think the Ambergris Caye would be more crowded and expensive. I would like your opinion on all this or any suggestions about my inquiry I want the property as a second or vacation home Thanks.

I want to bring my entire family to Belize for New Years. That includes my 72 year-old parents and my 2-year old son. Hi David, I suggest you do a few days in the jungle and a few days at the Beach. I would definitely go there when I have the chance. You really persuade me just by looking at your pictures.
