A flight to Belize introduces you to the tropical and Caribbean coast of Central America. Explore the Mayan ceremonial centres at Altun Ha and Lamanai (central Belize) and wander the sandy streets of San Pedro Town (west Belize). Step back in time at the Museum of Belize (in Belize City), located in a former colonial prison, with its exploration of Mayan culture and history. Mix with the friendly people of Belize in the local bars and beaches of Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye (north-west Belize). Away from the crowds go scuba diving along The Cayes, Belize’s barrier reef that spans the coastline, or hike through the Community Baboon Sanctuary (central Belize). Or take in the jungle scenery whilst canoeing along the River Macal (west central Belize). Belizians can’t live without their rice and beans but seafood and fried chicken are also a regular option. Try conch soup and fried lobster, plantain and a “boil up” (seafood stew). Settle down with a fresh fruit cocktail or local favourite, rum and coke. |
