Things Not To Miss While 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.

The Abergris Caye is an island that stretches 25 miles to the north. It offers excellent fun including snorkeling and diving. This is the access point to the barrier reef that surrounds the island. When tired of diving and visiting the reef, the town opens its arms with beach-side lounges, shops, restaurants and luxury hotels. The streets are cobblestone and filled with bicycles and golf carts in place of cars.

The Blue Hole was not declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for nothing. It is your point of access to underground tunnels, scenic rock formats and caverns. This is a great reward for scuba divers. The best time to visit is around April-May season because of the spectacular sea life and scenic surrounding environment. The point is 410 meters below sea level and offers a rewarding experience.

There is the three mile wide Hol Chan Marine Reserve that offers an incredible marine life serving. This sanctuary is home to a large number and variety of stingrays, eels and sharks. There are aquatic creatures that will blow your mind. For scuba divers, the experience is rewarding. From the information center, you can select your desired range of activities in order to maximize your time and resources. This reserve opens to visitors on daily basis from 9am to 5pm.

About 20 miles to the north is a tropical themed Caye Caulker town that is uninhabited by locals. The site offers an opportunity for such activities as fishing, sailing and kayaking. There are restaurants, shops and hotels near the Split. It is amazing to see the effects of Hurricane Hattie of 1960 that split the area into two. If you are not a fun of water, you can leave your shoes and gadget to walk around the island bare feet.

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 is a stretch for those who want to live along the Connection for long. It features calm Caribbean waters with beach front villas for those not in a hurry. A wildlife sanctuary and Mayan sites are nearby to occupy your time while you are there. The Monkey River offers encounters with boas, crocodiles, howler monkeys and iguanas for wildlife lovers. Kriol or Creole dishes will reward your palate.

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.
