If you want to go on a vacation that is unforgettable and contains a lot of culture and adventure, then you should go on a Belize vacation. This is because Belize is home to Mayan ruins, water sports such as diving and cave tubing too. As you can see, there are an endless number of opportunities awaiting you on your Belize vacation.
Belize Vacations – Caving
Many tourists find cave tubing to be a relaxing, yet adventurous experience. So, it should come as no surprise that this is becoming the country’s number one tourist attraction. Your adventure will last for 1-½ hours and all the while you will be leisurely floating in an inner tube in water that is the color of limes on your way through some cool, dark caves. While in the Sibun River Cave Branch you will be able to relax as you take in the beauty around you and learn about how the ancient Mayans used these caves for spiritual purposes. You will also enjoy seeing Mayan footprints, 1,000-year-old pottery shards, underground waterfalls, stalagmites and stalactites if you choose to take this Belize vacation.
Belize Vacations – Diving
While you may have gone diving in the past, it was nothing like you will experience if you go diving while on your Belize vacation. Here you will dive at the Blue Hole, which is located in the middle of the Lighthouse Reef (a 1,000 feet wide, 412 foot deep island that can be seen from outer space). Your experienced diving instructor will take you to depths of 140 feet where you will enjoy the Blue Hole’s beauty, not from marine life but from stalactites that measure 3-feet in diameter and were once a part of the ceiling.
Belize Vacations – Sightseeing At The Mayan Ruins
Belize vacations also offer you a great opportunity to discover excavated Mayan ruins. History buffs will enjoy visiting Altun Hun, Caracol and Xunantunich where if you are quiet you will feel as though you can almost hear the drums’ rhythmic beating from this ancient civilization. Of course, there are pyramids, temples and ceremonial centers to also see on your Belize vacation. All of these things will provide you with a new understanding of this time period that you will never be able to forget.
Belize Vacations – More Traditional Destinations
A Belize vacation is not just for thrill seekers. While on a Belize vacation you will also be able to enjoy a lot of traditional attractions as well. You will find beautiful beaches and wonderful hiking trails. Birding (with more than 600 species of birds found there year around), sailing and fishing are also there to be enjoyed.
