Toucans, Tapirs and mainland
|
|
In Belize, most of the time we spent on the Cayes, hopping
from island to island, but tropical mainland is
interesting too.
Belizean national proud - Toucan, Tapir and
Jaguar live in Mayan Mountains. We had no
luck and we didn't spot Jaguar in his natural habitat. They avoid people.
At least we bumped into troops of Howler monkeys
(Baboons) in Bermudian Landing.
Second time we went to see them, we
brought them cashew nuts and papayas, but they were too anxious to grab the goods, so we were
just howling at each other.
Northern Highway |
Southern Highway |
There are 2 paved roads in mainland: Northern and Western highways. Other roads are unpaved.. Especially Southern highway is brutal dirty, but you are in the jungle and it's fun and enjoyable.

70% of Belize is covered by forest with precious woods like
Mahogany Tree.
They grow in Maya Mountains
or Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve.
Belize has mountains, forests, waterfalls, cenotes and jungle
rivers. It also has over 600 Mayan ruins - mostly unrestored.
We visited ruins of Xunantunich on
Guatemala border and pretty
towns like San Ignacio, villages
Placencia or magical place
Hopkins Village.

We fell in love with Belize and scuba diving and we
enjoyed every moment there, and not only Toucans and Tapirs are cool, people
were nice too. |
