Things Not To Miss At Belize Connection

By Dennis Miller


Belize seems to have a sample of everything a global tourist would ever desire. The Belize connection serves captivating attraction that can never be found anywhere else in the world. It combines natural scenery, amenities and activities to occupy your time. The charges for all these sites and activities are reasonable guaranteeing value for money.

25 miles to the north is the Abergris Caye, an island perfect for snorkelers and fun divers. It allows access to magnificent barrier reefs that strategically stand around the island. Once you are done with diving and other water activities, the island will offer relaxing lounges, luxury hotels, restaurants and shops. The island has no cars, safe for bicycles and golf carts that rule the cobblestone streets.

When UNESCO declared the Blue Hole a World Heritage Site, they were recognizing the spectacular caverns, rock formations and underground tunnels that define the area. This is a rewarding site for scuba divers who explore the calcium influenced walls of the hole. This area is teaming with aquatic life with April and May seasons offering the best experience. The hole allows you to experience life at 410 meters below sea level.

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve faces the south and encompasses three miles of a densely populated aquatic reserve. It is a sanctuary for sharks, eels and stingrays, among other aquatic creatures. This diversity in marine life offers an incredible scuba diving experience. There is an information center from where you will be briefed to ensure that you get maximum value during your visit. You can visit the reserve daily between 9am and 5 pm.

Caye Caulker is a quiet town 20miles from the city. The local inhabitants are very few. It offers excellent sporting and fishing opportunities with kayaking lovers and sailors having a field day. The split brought about by the 1960 Hattie Hurricane creates an enviable dynamic in the area. For those not interested water and related activities, there are shops, restaurants and hotels with great foods to sample. The town allows you to walk bare feet and experience freedom from gadgets and shoes.

Towards the direction of the setting sun sits a range of ancient Mayan dwellings. They are surrounded by tranquil butterfly gardens, rolling hills and verdant jungles. The town centering all these attractions is called San Ignacio and offers traditional dishes with a wide range of affordable hotels. The Caracol Archeological Reserve gives you an opportunity to witness the different stages of archeological excavations.

The Placencia is a stretch for those who want to live along the Connection for long. It features calm Caribbean waters with beach front villas for those not in a hurry. A wildlife sanctuary and Mayan sites are nearby to occupy your time while you are there. The Monkey River offers encounters with boas, crocodiles, howler monkeys and iguanas for wildlife lovers. Kriol or Creole dishes will reward your palate.

All these attractions are anchored by Belize City that is split into north and south by the Haulover Creek. The Swing Bridge connects the north and south. With rural rain forests, cays and Mayan ruins surrounding the city, you have enough in your hands. A stay in this area is affordable with communication, currency and transport options being favorable to global tourists.
