If you are a serious diver, snorkeler, snuber, birdwatcher, you will know that Belize is the place, the paradise. Belize has the longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere. Belizeans have been working hard on preservation for the enjoyment of future generations and the rest of the world. Now, for under $500,(including air fare), you can visit these submarine wonders. The barrier reef covers about 290 km or (180m). If you really want to have fun, you will go to the Cayes. Caye Caulker is the most popular of the two. Ambergris Caye is commonly known as the low-budget island. Hey, that is what, I think, you are looking for. Great help to know this in advance!
Here is what to expect when visiting Belize's Cayes:
1. Mangroves cover most of the shore. You will be traveling under the shade of coconut trees shade. You may even want to try some coconut juice. And if you are really thirsty for more, the best technique is sit down and enjoy a few of these fruits. Don't forget to go native there!
2. Ambergris Caye is known as the laid-back one. You will find nice wooden hotels and inns. They are a bargain.

Enjoy the country that Late Charles Kuralt, the most famous and honest journalist in America, would call a jewell in Central America.
This is a small Central American country that has discovered the importance of the preservation of its natural resources and environments long before it was cool to do so. This is why so many adventure seekers and renowned eco-tourists have been attracted to the country's pristine and virgin beauty. I bet you that education has a lot to do with this stewardship attitude, commitment to preserving the environments. And as a reward to their efforts, Belizeans have been able to enjoy a flourishing eco-tourism that has brought strong and sustainable economic advantages. Who could envy them? While other Central American governments have allowed their lands to be stripped of the same natural resources, Belize stoop up alone to preserve its wonders for the world to see. Its rivers and jungles sustain a multitude of bird and wildlife. This is the birdwatchers' haven. How about the wild flowers? Now, you must have already known that Belize is home to the second-longest barrier reef in the whole wide world. Please see my review of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. A magnificent collection of sealife inhabits the coral reefs and sandy cayes.
Here a few factoids you may want to keep in mind when you go to Belize.
1. Make sure that you visit the Blue Hole at the Lighthouse Reef. Jacques Cousteau made a documentary of it. It is well-known destination for divers and snorkelers.
2. Visit the first nature preserve of the country, Half Moon Caye National Monument. It is the nesting place of the boobies. If you are lucky enough to get there during the nesting season, you will have a grand time.
3. Make sure to visit Tobacco Caye, Placencia. You will find out that birds and fish are the main attractions there. If you are into observing these creatures, go there. Hey, don't forget about the howler monkeys. You won't be totally out of the range of civilization. You will find decent restaurants there to dine at.
4. When you get back from your vacation, you will want to start planning your next vacation as soon as you can. You won't have enough...
