Planning A Luxury Resort Belize Vacation

By Patrick Perry


Are you someone who reads about and watches celebrities traveling to exotic places, basking in the sun and sand, the enjoying every amenity an exclusive retreat can offer? If so, a luxury resort Belize vacation is something you might aspire to for yourself. It boasts an amazingly azure blue coastline, famous Caribbean beaches, and incredible glimpses into ancient civilizations. It can also provide you with an underwater adventure like no other, if that is the sort of thing that interests you.

The Mayans called this area home thousands of years ago. Their culture has fascinated archaeologists, historians, artists, and explorers for many years. If you are lucky enough to have the time and means to explore this beautiful country, you should really consider doing so. Perhaps because it is a former British Colony, English is spoken fluently throughout most of this country.

The Mayans are an ancient civilization that inhabited this land at one time. Their culture has been explored, written about, and researched for hundreds of years. After all this time, archaeologists are still excavating and unearthing new artifacts nearly every day. This area seems to be a never ending source of wonder. Scientists are learning from it all the time.

In the late nineteen thirties, loggers accidentally discovered the remains of Carcacol. Over the years this has become of the largest and most important exploration sites in the country. When you take a tour of this spectacular place, you will be amazed by the intricacy of the carvings depicting curious hieroglyphic symbols. You will find them everywhere, on the exterior and interior walls and decorating the elaborate altars.

Xunantunich is more evidence that sophistication and brilliance are at the heart of this ancient culture. If you have a chance, you must spend as much time as possible touring this awe inspiring site. The gigantic friezes alone are worth studying extensively in an attempt to decipher any sense of their meaning. Touring this remarkable city will give you a new appreciation of how our ancient ancestors thrived during their time.

If you are ready for a break from touring ruins, you can choose to spend time relaxing on one of the beautiful beaches, or you could suit up and explore an underwater phenomenon like the Great Blue Hole. It is hard to believe that this is actually a perfectly round submarine sinkhole. Qualified divers are allowed to explore the hole and always marvel at how it keeps getting more intricate the deeper you dive.

You have probably never experienced anything like the barrier reefs that the sinkhole is a small part of. These reefs are the largest found anywhere in the northern hemisphere. There are hundreds of coral species, fish varieties, and other marine life here. These is a place where you will really get a strong sense of the fragility of all life.

After all of your daily outings, it can be a real treat to come home to your luxurious surroundings. You may lounge poolside, partake of gourmet dining, or enjoy the entertainment provided nightly. Belize is certainly a spectacular location for a once in a lifetime vacation.
