Honeymoon Destination Special: Belize
You’re getting hitched, and want to celebrate your honeymoon in the best possible way. That means avoiding the most common destinations in exchange for something more special and extraordinary. Have you considered Belize?
This small country just south of Mexico has a lot to offer visitors, from cave tubing, animal tours, and even the chance to explore ancient Mayan ruins. Aside from the activities, Belize is a great place to visit. The national average temperature is 79 degrees fahrenheit, and the US dollar is accepted almost everywhere. June through November is the rainy season, something to bear in mind. Showers usually only last a couple of minutes unless there is a tropical depression – rates at this time of year are always cheaper so if you are looking for a bargain, this could be for you!
Cave Tubing
Imagine floating at a leisurely pace through some of the world’s oldest and most beautiful cave formations. Now imagine the entrance of a cave and bursting out into tropical sunlight, surrounded by the beauty of nature. That’s what cave tubing is like in Belize.
Animal Tours
If you love animals, make sure to pay a visit to the Belize zoo. You can also go on wildlife tours, viewing the native animals of Belize in their natural habitats. These tours help support the local economy, and also serve to educate people on the various species that live in Belize, endangered or not.
Mayan Ruins
The Mayans were an ancient civilization on a par with Europe, They inhabited Belize and the surrounding area from around 2000 BC to the time when the Spanish arrived. Today, the ruins of their magnificent cities dot the landscape, rising high above the jungle. Take time to explore these ruins and get a dose of history, and also a scale of the length of time man has walked the earth and what he achieved in that time. The most notable ruin in Belize by far is the remnants of Caracol, although others – Cerros, Lamanai, and Xunntunich – are great to visit, too.
Getting to Belize
There are several ways to Belize from both the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The fastest and easiest way is by plane – flights can be chartered to Belize City, most stopping over in larger cities in Mexico or Brazil. Prices vary based on your point of origin, and the time of year you travel.
No matter where in Belize you decide to go, there is something for every couple. From long walks on the beautiful beaches to dining in high class restaurants, Belize is a very unexploited honeymoon destination that deserves more recognition. Just make sure to go when it isn’t raining so you don’t miss out on the many features of the landscape!
