Placencia is the place I spent the majority of my time in Belize. The town is a beach town in southern Belize. Great access to the lagoon, nearby jungles and mountains. The sea was right there for Caribbean views, scuba diving, snorkeling, cruises and more!
Small shops, coffee shops, eateries, rum all easily available. No big chains, no super stores, and health food was cheaper than junk food.
Going to Belize was an opportunity! When I was in Belize getting to know the people, I was staying with was an opportunity. Which led to the opportunity to explore the jungle, zipline, raft, scuba, snorkel, explore Maya ruins or simply enjoy coffee! Yes, there were some missed opportunities but more often then not some wonderful opportunities!
Another animal I did not see in the wild in Belize was the Howler Monkey. I did hear them in the jungle at the night.
The primary language in Belize is English as the country was British Honduras until 1982. The second biggest language in Belize is Spanish which makes sense considering the countries location. the third most popular language is Kriol also known as Belize Creole.
