BELIZE, “NATURES EXTRAORDINAIRE”


By Clay Larroy
 

Travel is so much more that simply hopping on a flight to a new destination. If you plan it correctly, it could be a thrilling time you'll never forget. Planning a trip is fun as there are tons of things to do and see. Do you know how to plan a trip effectively? Packing light is key to making your travels as easy and free of stress as possible. Bring one carryon bag that includes everything you need, not necessarily everything you want. Your smart packing will pay off when you are happily carrying one bag around on vacation instead of lugging around multiple bags. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!

Overview of the Attractions in Belize

 
Belize is an under-the-radar travel destination that's growing in popularity, with more and more tourists drawn to the exotic locale by its many attractions. Sandwiched between the steaming jungles of the Amazon and the sparkling coastline of the Pacific, there are plenty of attractions in Belize to tempt travelers. Belize is home to a number of ancient ruins from the Mayan civilization, and touring these sites is a popular activity. Ranging from mysterious pyramids to ancient ball courts and ornate temples, there are a few sites that are within easy distance of the major cities and are worth visiting. These areas are also great for activities like hiking and horseback riding.

The coast of Belize is another kind of paradise, with sparkling beaches and the world's second-longest barrier reef. Scuba diving is a popular activity in Belize and gives visitors the chance to come face to face with marine life like stingrays, whale sharks, sea turtles, and colorful reef fish.


Port of Call - Belize Harbor

Belize City, the largest city in the nation of Belize, is also the main port, attracting cruise liners to its rugged jungle backdrop and amazing array of sights under surrounding tropic waters. Top attractions are divided between the sea and land and include snorkeling or diving over the beautiful Barrier Reef, the second largest reef in the world, and a visit to the Altun Ha, an excavated Mayan temple.

Belize Harbor itself is too shallow for cruise liners to dock at the city pier so ships anchor a surprising distance away from the city. Fast tenders transport passengers from the cruise liners to the Fort Street Tourism Village located directly in downtown Belize where most amenities can be found within three terminals.

 

Shopping in Belize Harbor

Most the shopping is limited to the Front Street Tourism Village where a crafts market and shops spread over three terminals. There are a few shops downtown although many of the same goods are available in the Tourism Village.

Best Buy: The shopping is limited, but there are great local crafts on offer. Avoid items made from coral and sea turtle shell.

 
Dining in Belize Harbor

The Jerk Shack - Simple and delicious local jerked chicken. Belamari at Seashore - International cuisine with a great view. Taka Kitchen - Popular sushi spot, with a variety of Asian dishes.

Best Dish: Jerked chicken.
