What Not To Miss At Belize Connection

By Dennis Miller


Everything tourism around the world must have had its origin in Belize. The Belize connection has awe-inspiring attractions that are situated a few miles apart. The collection is like none other around the world. It brings together natural scenery, historical sites, social amenities and activity invitations of all kind. All this is available at an incredibly affordable price that guarantees excellent 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.

There is a natural invitation to the Blue Hole that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an impressive scuba site that offers access to underground caverns, rock formations and tunnels. You will have a spectacular view of cave walls with April-May being the best time to visit the hole. It is an opportunity to dive 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 magnificent town about 20 miles from Belize that is yet to attract locals. This is the perfect spot for kayaking, sailing and fishing activities. It was split into two by the 1960 Hattie Hurricane but still offers an exciting experience. Away from the water are hotels, shops and restaurants with an opportunity to abandon gadgets and shoes to walk bare feet around the island.

There are ancient Mayan dwellings as you face the setting sun. The neighborhood is made of rolling hills, butterfly gardens and verdant jungles that center around San Ignacio town. The town welcomes you to affordable hotels and excellent traditional cuisine. The town is neighbored by Caracol Archeological Reserve where Mayan ruins are in different stages of excavation.

The Placencia stretch features beach front villas around the calm Caribbean waters. This is the only spot with golden sand on mainland Belize. There are more Mayan ruins and a wildlife sanctuary nearby to visit. The Monkey River welcomes you with iguanas, howler monkeys, crocodiles and boas. There are creole or Kriol dishes to enjoy at this spot.

Belize City is the center of all these activities and attractions. It is divided by the Haulover Creek yet connected by the Swing Bridge. Around the defined north and south districts are Mayan ruins, cays and rural rain forests to enjoy. Life along the connection is affordable with efficient transport and communication to accommodate tourists from any corner of the world.
