We are in Belize, a very small country east of Guatemala. If you are not familiar with it, it is the only British colony in central america. It is english speaking, has a diverse population with people of European, African and Indigenous heritage. The difference in culture is definitely an interesting contrast from Mexico.
We visited places with exotic names such as Dangriga, Placencia, Crooked Tree, Orange Walk and San Ignacio. We also visited an exotic place with the boring name of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary is 120,000 acres of river basin, set aside for the jaguar, and everything the jaguar would want to feast on. Great hiking and lots of swimming holes.
We didn't spend much time on the Caribbean coast, and no time on the offshore cayes (barrier islands). But if you want to get amongst some jungle next time you visit Belize, we highly recommend Cockscomb and San Ignacio.
You want a relevant song to accompany this blog post, do you? Hmm we can always oblige, try Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears on for size:
