Cool Things To Do Around San Ignacio
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 7 November 2009
As mentioned previously, you can go do the marathon mission to the ATM Cave, or be ferried down to the Caracol ruins by the Belizean police. But if you fancy doing something a bit more chilled out, there are a few fantastic options. On the extremely bumpy road to Caracol, you’ll see a sign to Rio [...]

One last Belizean adventure
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 7 November 2009
Unsure of whether or not to push on back into Guatemala, we convinced ourselves that there was probably one more thing not to miss in Belize - and that's the second largest coral reef in the world! And perhaps we shouldn't miss Belize City either. After all, it is not possible to know Belize without seeing it's largest city, according to our book. Besides, to get to the reef you must take a boat from Belize City to one of the cayes, so two birds with one stone, we went to Ambergris Caye.

Caracol And The Cutest Monkey Ever
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 7 November 2009
Seriously, watch this video, and tell me it’s not absolutely gorgeous. That’s Jack. Jack is a three month old howler monkey who fell off his mother’s back near the archeological site of Caracol. He was injured in the fall, and one of the wardens from the site nursed him back to health. But by then, of [...]

Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave – Incredible
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 6 November 2009
Rarely do the Belizeans put restrictions on places in the name of preservation of culture. The exception is Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, familiarly known in Belize as the ATM cave. You can imagine how many cash point jokes they can get out of that. Only two tour companies are allowed to visit ATM, and only [...]

Guatemala vs Belize
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 6 November 2009
Wow, what a staggering difference. We didn’t have the best ever first experience of Guatemala. It began with the Santa Elena taxi drivers, swung through the less than thrilling Flores, nearly ended in heatstroke in Tikal and finally cost us 200 Quetzales in border fines. Alright, that last one was our fault, but on the other [...]

Here’s A Quick Way To Spice Up Your Travels
Blog: GoBackpacking - 31 August 2009
When I was a kid, I remember being in my best friend’s kitchen as he suckled a bottle of Tabasco sauce for sheer pleasure. I assumed he could inherently handle it because he was Asian, and I wasn’t. In reality, the reason had to do with the differing cultural environments in which we were brought [...]Your Free Subscriber Download

Snorkeling Trips
Blog: The Belize Travel Experience - 26 August 2009
With the second largest reef in the world located right at the doorstep of Belize’s coast, snorkeling is one of the most enjoyable passtimes you can have. There is so much to see in the water and coral and animal life is plentyful. An Australian guy told me yesterday that this reef here is prettier [...] Related posts:Belize trip June 2009 part 1

Hol Chan Marine Reserve is located off the southern tip of Ambergris Caye and is Belize’s oldest marine reserve.

Boats and Buses From Belize to Honduras, What a Trip
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 22 June 2009
We booked a boat in Belize City to Puerto Cortes, Honduras. We made it in one piece just barely, and we had a lot of time to get over our nausea. Finally the border patrol arrived. One man and one man only processed 50 people. It was getting late in the day and we didn’t have much time to make our way across the island to catch our ferry to Utilla.
