Located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize is
known as the biggest tourist destinations in Center America and becomes one of
my favorite countries. The barrier reef of it attracts many enthusiasts from all
over the world in scuba and snorkeling, and many of Belize’s national parks are
renowned as the paradise of birdwatchers. People who are interested in
archaeology will be crazy about the Mayan sites of Altun Ha, Lamani, and
Caracol. Tourists coming here have the many exciting experience of the friendly
locals, the pleasant weather, and the tasty and delicious food. Although it may
not be the cheapest destination in the continent but it’s one of the most
approachable and relaxing countries to discover. I will share the best tips
from my vacation in Belize into this guide!
Must-see
and do things in Belize
Belize
Zoo
One
of the most attractive place in Belize City is its zoo. Winning the title “the
best little zoo in the world” and being located in 29 acre site, it is home for
over 120 species of animal from the country. Many of the tourists may be
familiar with jaguars, macaws, snakes, pumas, and crocodiles.
Hol
Chan Marine Reserve
Hol Chan is a famous marine reserve in the
country and is placed close to Ambergris Caye. The diving and snorkeling experience
in the park is wonderful which includes caves, coral, and plenty of tropical
fish and will definitely blow your mind. Tourists who want to get up close and
personal with sharks and rays may head to Shark Ray Alley around feeding time.
Altun
Ha
Getting
to the Mayan site of Altun Ha is also a good hint considering the experience
with its ruins which are well-preserved located just 30 miles north of the
City. The place of interest in the city includes Temple of the Masonry Altars, built
from the 7th Century. The Temple height is 54 feet and a climb to the top
rewards you with a whole view of the pyramids and plaza below. The tour costs
approximately 50 dollars including transport, entrance fee, a guide, and
drinks.

Central
America is no doubt a paradise for people loving watching the wildlife
including Belize. Hol Chan and the Belize Zoo seem to be just an introduction
for the show. Crooked Tree Wildlife
Sanctuary is surely a place for bird-watching with its outstandingly spotting
opportunities. Meanwhile, people interested in big cats can track down to the
most famous protected area Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary for jaguars.
Bacab
Adventure & Eco Park
“Something for Everyone” is it’s slogan, it
covers 500 acres of jungle, you including hiking trails, waterways, Howler
Monkeys, a giant swimming pool with a waterfall, a Butterfly house, and
crocodiles. All of the sites will make your whole family busy. Camping
overnight for 10 BZD per person is a good suggestion. Furthermore tents can be
accessible for the ones needed..
