Have you heard of the place called Belize? If you do not know then you are not alone; in fact there are loads of people who are not aware of this little tiny Central American country sandwiched between the western Caribbean Sea, Mexico and Guatemala.
Belize is where one of the earliest Maya civilization prospered. It is rich when it comes to natural resources. It is in fact a blessing for this country to be lesser known as this has helped preserved its environment. Belize tours are what you must consider if you love outdoor adventures.
A number of picturesque resorts filled the coast and there are a number of islands known as cays which serve as a habitat for marine life. Amongst these are the Ambergris Caye which is famous however, if you are trying to find a less crowded and much less modern setting then it is Caye Caulker that you should go to. Apart from a country ambiance, this atoll is close to several diving and also snorkeling sites.
Among the most well known locations for diving that have earned popularity around the world is the Great Blue Hole. If you are interested to go scuba diving here then you can include this in your Belize scuba diving travel package.
Have you figured out where the Great Blue Hole has come from? It's a result of a process which was triggered 15,000 years ago during the Ice Age, when the level of sea-water dropped dramatically as a result showing the limestone under. A significant amount of limestone eroded when the fresh water poured in gradually and then formed underwater caverns. For countless years, there was a solid roof that supports a hollow network below and when it could not any longer hold, it crumbled leaving a massive sinkhole. This hole is very deep hence exploring it is really a challenge. The depth of this hole is bottomless that is why you will need an experienced diving instructor behind.
There are other scuba diving sites that are worth exploring such as Hole Chan Marine Reserve and Tres Cocos which means three coconuts. Hol Chan which means 'Little Blue Channel' was created in 1987 and it is marine reserve that is a home to a number of coral varieties and marine life.
Why not experience diving in Punta Arena Canyons through a guided Belize travel package. Often called 'Small Cut', this diving location constitutes a pair of canyons which can be reached through a triangular entrance. The marine life is amazing which makes the diving experience very enriching as well as unforgettable.
If you are an avid bird watcher then you should not miss the chance to check out the Booby birds on Half Moon Caye in the Zircote forest. From the three Booby bird species which one can find in Belize, this isle is where you can find the white variety which has different black markings on its wings. The best place to see these birds and their light blue eggs that are nestled among the orange flowers of the Zircote thicket is from the observation tower.
Got some time left? Why not take this chance to interact with the ethnic inhabitants or take a walk along the beach. At the end of your vacation, you will surely want to go back to Belize someday.
