This is the perfect vacation for someone who wants an authentic experience of Belizean life. We were the only tourists in this rural village of mostly subsistence farmers. A lovely neighbour made us traditional Belizean meals.
Two women showed us around their farm, introduced us to their parrot and gave us some stewed cashew fruit.
We swam in the Belize river that runs alongside the village. We were the only people there. On the other side we could hear Howler monkeys.
Brucie told us all about the country and it’s history.
We went snorkeling on Caye Caulker one day and the coral reef was magical. We swam with nurse sharks and stingrays. Caye Caulker was lots of fun, but it’s a tourist spot.
Another highlight was visiting Mayan temples about 1,200 years old. The tour guide there was excellent.
The log cabin is very private and cozy. You have everything you need. We played Scrabble and my hubby filled out crosswords in the New York Times book we found there. Went on bike rides to the river with the 2 bikes.
We spent most of our time sitting by the pond. Canoed around it a few times. Cooled off with the outdoor shower when we needed to. Saw iguanas and gorgeous birds including parrots. There was always a breeze so even when it was hot it was quite pleasant.
Felt very safe on the property.
Brucie drove us everywhere we wanted to go and arranged things. Thanks so much for a great experience! ❤️❤️❤️
