What To Expect During A Couples Adventure Vacation Belize

By Susan Price


It is no secret that the nation of Belize is a thriving tourism hub thanks to its abundance of world class attractions. Every year, tourists from across the world flock it for its great climate, beaches, wildlife and natural formations. Its waters are especially great for snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking and rafting. This article highlights what it is like during a couples adventure vacation Belize.

Like most Central American nations, Belize has a close association with the Mayan Empire. For thousands of years, ancient Mayans occupied most of it. Today, you can get a glimpse of this history thanks to the presence of over 900 prehistoric Mayan ruins. Once you visit, your thirst for adventure will be well tended to.

Some of the ancient Mayan ruins feature imposing pyramids, temples and other artistic stone structures built right in the middle of the dense jungle. The east of this tourism gem is bordered by the ocean while the west is primarily jungle territory. The jungle houses lots of sacred caves that were used for all manner of rituals by ancient Mayan priests. Some of the caves have remained undisturbed, allowing visitors to enjoy a firsthand view of the skeletal remains of the children once used as human sacrifice and the artifacts used during the rituals.

All in all, the natural beauty in the country is undoubtedly astounding. A large chunk of the territory is reserved for national parks and nature reserves. This is easy to understand as tourism is the biggest revenue generator for the local economy. To the east, the coastline sprawls on for over 200 miles. Most tourists who visit the coast never fail to remark about the exquisite tropical islands, barrier reef and coral atolls.

The west is the ultimate place to head to for those looking for intense adventure. It is filled with spectacular waterfalls, mountains, rainforests, jungles and grasslands. These natural formations all create a haven for a wide variety of wildlife including jaguars, parrots, tapirs, toucans and exotic monkeys.

There are many tour agencies that specialize in organizing tours to Belize and other locations in the Caribbean. It is always advisable to ask for a quotation early enough so you can finalize your budget and itinerary in time for your trip. Most agencies also have partnerships with many of the resorts in the area, so your accommodation needs should be well taken care of with the right one.

It is also important to carefully consider your time of travel. Peak adventure season in the country is between the months of December and April. This is also when the hotel rates are highest. The low season runs from May till the end of November. The packages offered by most agencies cover between 3 night stays and 7 night stays.

Extra charges are common when dealing with tour companies. You may be charged extra for special services or when there are hidden taxes. It is always best to ask your company to provide a complete cost breakdown in advance.
