Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize. The coastline is a diver’s and snorkeler’s dream. Home to the second largest barrier reef in the world and teeming with fish, sharks, turtles, stingrays and other sea creatures.

The Community Baboon Sanctuary is a cool community run effort to conserve the natural habitat for black howler monkeys in Belize. The monkeys are wild here and you are walking through their natural habitat. There is no fence around the sanctuary, the whole area is natural.

If you want to see the tallest waterfall in Central America (it’s in Belize) you will need an adventurous spirit and a high clearance vehicle. Just getting to the waterfalls in Belize is an adventure. We rented a high clearance vehicle and set on our way to find two remote Belize waterfalls.

Mayan Ruins in Belize are beautiful and if you are lucky you may even have these incredible historical sites to yourself. We were told the steps were designed for you to crawl to the Gods. They are very narrow. With this in mind, it was much safer to explore the ruins by crawling up the steps rather than walking up them as you would normally do. While staying in San Ignacio we visited three incredible Mayan ruins.
