Caye Caulker
February 15, 2017 in Belize ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
This little island off the coast of Belize is the equivalent of Paradise on earth. Time seems to stop on this island and everyone and everything is slow and relaxed.
People get around the island on a bike, a golf cart or by foot (barefoot).
The mixture of different ethnicities is fascinating but the culture is generally the same in the country, although Belize has only been an independent country since 81', people still speak Spanish as a result of the Guatemalan influence but they prefer English or Creole.
Sunsets are just magical to watch from the Split whilst sipping a Margarita at Lazy Lizard Bar.
Trips to the barrier reef are well worth it as you get to swim with sharks, turtles and all kind of fishes.Read more

Day 1
San Ignacio
February 16, 2017 in Belize ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I left the beautiful island of Caye Caulker in the morning and started heading to San Ignacio after taking the ferry to Belize City, capital of the former British Honduras.
The chicken bus (public bus) to San Ignacio took about two hours, and it was a unique experience in itself. Locals will get off the bus at random stops and we'd shuffle around to find a seat before others jump in.

I only spent two days in San Ignacio, which is located closer to the Guatemalan border. The town has no shortage of tour operators, selling activities in the area. However I decided to get the local bus in the morning of the second day and head to the mayan ruins of Xunantunich. A much less touristy place and a beautiful view over the ruins and the Macal river.Read more
