Oscar Castaneda for Balaam Eco Adventures
When you are planning
to travel to a new place especially for your honeymoon you will appreciate browsing
recommended itineraries detailing where to go and for how long. To this end I have made a full 12-day sample itinerary for your
amazing Belize Honeymoon.
Belize offers something for everyone! Maya temple cities, white sandy beaches, the best snorkeling, spectacular scuba diving at the second largest barrier reef in the world and the world famous Blue Hole, horseback riding through jungle trails, waterfalls, kayaking on pristine rivers, jungle hiking, adventurous zip lining, and unique caving exploration are just a few of a plethora of tours that you can do in Belize.
San Ignacio
The area around San Ignacio is like the Indiana Jones part of the country. San Ignacio Town is the main town in the Cayo District of western Belize and is an ideal base for some Belize Adventure Tours like exploring ancient Maya cities like Caracol and Xunantunich, exploring ceremonial caves like Barton Creek, Actun Tunichil Muknal, cascading water falls like Rio on Pools and Big Rock waterfalls in the Mountain Pine Ridge Nature Reserve.

Hiking, kayaking, bird watching and horseback riding are also top rated outdoor activities in the area. San Ignacio is also an important route to and from Guatemala since it is one of the last towns in Belize before entering Guatemala where many travellers go to visit Tikal – one of the largest archaeological sites in Guatemala.
Placencia
It is a perfect destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and fly-fishing. And during the full moons of May and June, you can go on a whale shark expedition at the Gladden Spit Reserve where the gentle giant whale sharks come to span.
Inland tours like Zipline & Waterfall Rappelling, Chocolate Making, Garifuna Drumming, Monkey River and the Cockscomb Basin Jaguar Preserve can also be explored from Placencia.
Located in the Stann Creek District, Placencia is a long, narrow and sandy peninsula along Belize’ Caribbean coastline with a fresh water lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other side. This offers a really laid-back Belize Vacation ambiance with various accommodations, and the best restaurants in Southern Belize. Walk on the smallest street in the world which made it into the Guinness book of records.
