Things Not To Miss While 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.

The Abergris Caye is an island that stretches 25 miles to the north. It offers excellent fun including snorkeling and diving. This is the access point to the barrier reef that surrounds the island. When tired of diving and visiting the reef, the town opens its arms with beach-side lounges, shops, restaurants and luxury hotels. The streets are cobblestone and filled with bicycles and golf carts in place of cars.

The Blue Hole was not declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for nothing. It is your point of access to underground tunnels, scenic rock formats and caverns. This is a great reward for scuba divers. The best time to visit is around April-May season because of the spectacular sea life and scenic surrounding environment. The point is 410 meters below sea level and offers a rewarding experience.

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.

The Belize City offers a rewarding climax, split into two by the Haulover Creek. There is a swing bridge that separates the North from the South. It is surrounded by Mayan ruins, cays and rural rain forests that will keep you away from the city. The area is affordable with sufficient transportation connection from anywhere around the world. You have sufficient access to global currencies and easy communication.
