Belize is a beautiful country with lots of nature areas. Mountains, jungles, rivers and seas make up the landscape of Belize.
On my first adventure in Belize I found a waterfall.
After spending over 30 days in Belize would I recommend Belize for a vacation? Absolutely. So much to do in Belize from visiting Maya temples, jungles, mountains, lagoons, the Caribbean, cities, towns and villages. The people are friendly, English is the official language, different cultures, good food, nature, fishing, boating, diving, scuba, snorkeling, zip lining, kayaking, rafting, hiking, relaxing the list of things to do is almost endless. Not a place for being in a rush as things are done in Belizean time.
The friends I made was worth the trip alone. The adventures I had will last a lifetime. After a year I still speak fondly of the trip.
Uxbenka is a Mayan Ruins site in the lowlands of Belize in the southern region called Toledo. Dating back to 250-500 years CE.
The forms of transportation I used in Belize was planes, boats, buses, taxis, vans, and borrowed vehicles. Not everyone in Belize owns a cars and where I spent the majority of the time golf carts were pretty common. Walking and bicycles was also a manner to get around.
Fitting for Earth Day. Belize is home to the second largest reef in the world. Protected and beautiful the reef is home to amazing sea life like sea turtles, sharks, barracudas, lobsters, eels and more! Snorkeling is a great way to see under the sea. I saw more sea turtles from snorkeling.
A rat fit for a Queen! Once fed to Queen Elizabeth II the Pacas or what locals call Gibnuts were also called Royal Rats. We did see some on our trip I did not eat any.
I had conch first as fritters and then I had them in a couple other foods, Queen Conch is one of the largest conch species. I believe they are threatened or protected in Florida, but Belize has a very protected marine area.
