Belize is a tropical island that is typical with its tall palm trees, superb corals, aquatic life, the famous Belize reef and Belize Cayes.
 Belize has a very eclectic population mix of Mennonites, Mopan Mayas, Garifuna, Chinese, Indian, Middle Easterners, Italian, British and North Americans all living in complete harmony and peace and very proud of their island. Tourists visiting Belize can immediately sense the warmth exuded by the people out here and that makes this holiday resort all the more appealing and enduring.
Belize boasts of all the natural beauty that one associates with the Caribbean islands. Be it the Palencia beach or the wonderful shores of the Caye Caulker get away, where you can indulge to your heart’s content in snorkeling, scuba diving and other water sports or the Ambergris Cayes where you can fish and dive to find coral, this island has it all for the discerning tourist. The Hopkins village which is thought to be a cultural center representing the small Garifuna population in Belize is another village that needs visiting. In fact, this village was voted as the most
Belize is also home to the historical ruins of the Mayan era, flowing rivers, cane farms, many hectares of lovely fresh fruits of oranges, bananas, grapes and have some very rare species of wildlife in the jaguars, manatees and toucans. In fact the deep tapir is one of the species that is very rarely found elsewhere in the world but in Belize. Exotic flora can also be found in this island.
It is therefore not surprising that Belize travel and Belize tour and vacation packages are extremely popular and the Belize hotels and resorts are always full of tourists. Tourists can enjoy river rafting, horseback riding through Belize City or go rappelling down the mountains.
Indoor lovers will find the hotels and resorts well equipped with all the entertainment amenities. If you cannot afford these, you are always welcome to go for a bunking arrangement with one of the Mayan inhabitants and experience the beauty of the jungle in all its glory.
If you have not had enough of Belize and are also looking at the same time for a change, then visit the island of Anguilla. Here, you would find a lot of similarities in terms of the warm friendly people and the wonderful natural beauty that Anguilla has in store. One major and important difference worth mentioning are the thirty odd pristine beaches that this island can offer lovers of the sea and its surroundings.
Though Belize also offers some wonderful opportunities for water sports, Anguilla has the edge in the tremendous variety of cuisine and drinks its beach cafes and beach side eat outs have on offer. Other attractions that are different include boat racing and the different festivals that Anguilla showcases during the festive occasion from the month of August.
However, the main advantage that Anguilla possesses is the tranquil and unpolluted atmosphere. This island is not as commercialized as some of the more well known ones in the Caribbean and that is one great benefit it provides tourists looking for some peace of mind. |
