Climb Mayan Temples, Pyramids, Palaces and walk where the Ancient Mayas used to live, feel alive and explore the most accessible Maya archaeological sites in the world.

If you weren’t interested in Maya history and culture before coming to Belize, you probably will be by the time you leave and you will know quite a bit about it as well.

Explore Caves as you Journey into “Xibalba”, the Mayan Underworld at Actun Tunichil Mucknal Cave (ATM) as the cave of the Stone Sepulchre or Crystal Maiden, where you can swim in and then spend the day walking and climbing through an incredible array of artefacts, altars, stalactites, stalagmites and skeletons of sacrificial individuals.

Most visitors are amazed by how many accessible, intimate Maya ruins and sites there are in this small little country but so richly and culturally diverse. From fascinating, easy walks through park-like Xunanthunich, Cahal Pech or the expanse of Caracol , and travelling to Tikal in nearby Guatemala’s Peten it’s a fascinating eye opener to the novice.

5)HONEYMOONS, WEDDINGS & RENEWAL OF VOWS

The desire to marry under tropical skies at white sandy beaches, Mayan Temples with a Mayan Shaman, at the Great Blue Hole and Sky Diving for the more adventurous, wandered in our imaginations many generations ago.

There are many good reasons to visit Belize, our sunny little Caribbean jewel in Central America. Having a Belize Honeymoon , Weddings and renewal of Vows holiday in paradise is certainly one of them. Why Honeymoon, Wedding or Renewal of vows in Belize?

Chaa Creek’s Denise Duran said “ that she believes positive word of mouth combined with the desire to do something different is behind the increase in Inquirers and bookings Belize is experiencing.

Honeymoons, Weddings and Renewal of Vows are such an important life event for couples that they’re willing to go that extra mile to share something extraordinary, and more they’re discovering that Belize offers the same level of quality and service that more established destinations do, but at a lower cost. “

While destination honeymoons set in exotic tropical locales have been growing in popularity in recent years, Belize is experiencing an increase in romantic couples seeking affordable luxury in an idyllic setting according to wedding and honeymoon planners.

And you won’t run short of ham, turkey and all the familiar trimmings during a Christmas in Belize than through the healthy, fun exercise you’ll get exploring the enchanting world of the Mayas.

6)DIVE THE GREAT BLUE HOLE

The Great Blue Hole made famous by Jacques Cousteau is one of the most astounding wonders of Belize and the world.

The Blue Hole is almost a perfect circular hole with a diameter of 1000 feet and a depth of 480 feet. It has become one of the most popular dive sites in Belize attracting divers from all over the world.

Divers visit the Blue Hole, a wonder of nature as this under water collapsed cave was formed over centuries ago.

Feel at one with nature as you dive with sharks and rainbow coloured fishes. This collapsed cave has sheer walls adorned with Stalactites and with stalagmites measuring between 120 and 150 feet deep.

7)BELIZE IS A NATURE LOVERS PARADISE

Belize is a nature lover’s paradise with the most impressive beautiful scenery, rainforests sandy beaches, the largest barrier reef, 3 atolls from 4 in the Caribbean.

The climate of Belize is near perfect. Amazing native birds and animals live in Belize as its home to wildlife reserves and sanctuaries, rivers, herbal trails, massive Mayan Temples like Caracol which is still among the tallest man made structures in the country even to today’s date and massive systems of subterranean caves.

With approximately 40 per cent of land classified as protected, the forests support a vast range of wildlife including five large cat species: Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot, Jaguarundi and the Margay. If you love birding we have over 620 species of both migrant and local birds which have been recorded.

There is plenty to do for the entire family. The best of both worlds, as Belize Adventure Tours takes you to our awesome Rainforests and the beautiful seacoast, the largest Barrier Reef in this part of the hemisphere which is now a World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO.

Sandy white beaches and over 200 palm studded cayes (pronounced as Keys) offer unparalleled snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, fly fishing, fishing for the Grand Slam, deep sea fishing and general angling, kayaking, boating, chartering, sunbathing, and any almost any water sports you can think of.

Sitting on latitude 17° N, bordering the Caribbean Sea and covered in living, breathing forest, Belize is blessed with one of the best climates in the world. It is warm all year round, with temperatures averaging around 81°F (27°C) along the coast and about 69°F (21°C) in the hills of the interior. We’ve found that sea breezes keep the coast and cayes quite comfortable even in the hottest months, while the vast tracts of pristine jungle seem to fulfill the same function inland.

10)YOU ARE IN BELIZE
