placencia is a small village town located in the south of the country and it's famous for
its white and golden sand beaches the caribbean culture is quite strong in
placencia and you will see all these colorful houses walking around which is really nice
if you're looking for beautiful beaches and gorgeous sunsets
look no further this is your spot in belize

you will also see some fun stuff like garifuna drumming
Xunantunich is a mayan archaeological site from the late classic period
and it is located close to the city of san ignacio
a sizable portion of belize's population is mayan and this city is quite important
for them it's quite nice to walk around and see all these pyramids and it's also
quite fun to watch the main principle pyramid and experience the hieroglyphs on top which
are incredibly well preserved condition don't worry the actual hieroglyphs are hidden under
this protective coating the place actually gets its name from lady of the rock which
is a mythical story you can find out more about it in my san ignacio video
belize has a lot of caves and this one is perhaps the most famous one i had never done caving in my
life before this place and i actually really enjoyed it so much so that i want to go again
it's not about adventure and fun only there's also history attached to this because the
mayans used this place for worshiping as well as offering human sacrifice i got to see the most
intact human remains of a mayan although it was a little grisly because his backbone was broken
the cave is also located close to the city of san ignacio and can be easily done as a day trip from
there hol chan marine reserve is located close to ambergris caye and san pedro and it is perhaps the
most beautiful snorkeling spot in the entire world hol chan means small channel in mayan which is
exactly what it is it's a small narrow opening in the great barrier reef which is the largest in the
northern hemisphere and the second largest in the world after australia the variety and number of
fish species here is absolutely incredible i got to swim with sharks stingrays eagle rays manatees
octopi and a lot more it's just incredible how beautiful this place is i went back three times
have you checked my belize country guide if not i would definitely recommend you do that
it has tons of information that's going to help you and save you quite a lot of money i promise
half moon caye is my favorite island in all of belize it is absolutely stunning it's uninhabited
and part of the protected marine reserve area which is located close to the blue hole
i loved snorkeling around although there wasn't much to see the water was absolutely clear
i got to visit this place as part of the day trip to blue hole
and loved the beautiful beaches it is just stunning stunning and stunning
the island is also the only home to red-footed booby birds which you can watch on the bird tower
did you know that the tallest building in all of belize is a pyramid yes that's true it is located
inside the archaeological site of caracol caracol is a big archaeological area and you will need to
go especially from san ignacio i really enjoyed the trip because i got to learn so much about the
mayan culture and in so much detail but i would definitely recommend going with a good guide
because if you don't then it's just a bunch of pyramids that you can see everywhere it is a
full day trip but i would definitely recommend doing it not only because of caracol but the
way there and back is also really beautiful and you go through the pine ridge national forest
it is also a great chance to see the rio frio cave and rio on pools
which is the best ending of a tour i've ever had
i don't like zoos i think they make money off of animals' misery but this one is an
exception it is located between san ignacio and belize city so i just stopped on the way
and i'm so glad that i did the zoo only hosts animals that have been abandoned
injured or they have been confiscated from illegal owners
they not only take care of these animals they also educate the public about them and i got to
see beautiful tapirs a lot of different types of monkeys birds toucans my absolute favorite jaguar
and some other types of cat hello from the most chilled island in all of belize this is caye caulker
caye caulker is a small island but full of adventure and fun
and if you're lucky you get to swim with the manatees here
and don't miss that split because i promise you you will have the time of your life there

you get to see some beautiful tarpons seahorses stingrays and amazing sunsets
the jaguar reserve of cockscomb is the only reserve dedicated to jaguars in the entire world
the reserve is located between belize city and the beach towns of placencia and hopkins in the south
it is quite a big national park and you have different trails you can explore and you get
to see some beautiful waterfalls although i would definitely recommend calibrating your expectations
when it comes to seeing jaguars because they are nocturnal and mostly come out at night
last but definitely not the least in any way i have the great blue hole of belize for you
the great blue hole of belize is a giant sinkhole and you can explore
it a few different ways although i would definitely recommend going there by boat
because it's located in the lighthouse reef and it is a spectacular site for snorkeling
despite what you see it is not a landmass and there's no way
to stand so you definitely need to be on the boat or snorkeling
it is one of those experiences that will remain with you for the rest of your life i promise you
