Belize is one of the best places to see Mayan ruins.
Belize is a country east of Guatemala on the Caribbean coast. Belize was first inhabited by the Mayans whose culture remained whole until 1000 AD. Much of the Mayan influence is still seen today and makes Belize a rich and engaging place to visit. Belize is a popular vacation spot for adults and offers balmy air, white sandy beaches and exciting activities.
Cruising to Belize
Taking a cruise to Belize is a popular choice for people wishing to spend time there. Cruises from New Orleans, Tampa and Miami regularly depart for Belize. The weather in Belize averages from 96 in the summer and 75 in the winter. Remember the weather when deciding what time of the year to take a cruise. Cruises can last anywhere from three days to 12 and between five to seven hours are typically spent on land in each destination. Shore excursions or things to do while you're there include guided tours to Mayan ruins, cave tubing and snorkeling by the barrier reef. Popular cruise lines include Carnival and Norwegian.
Hotels in Belize
People wishing to fly to Belize and stay can find comfort and adventure in places like the Maruba Resort Jungle Spa and the Mayan Mountain Lodge. The Maruba Resort Jungle Spa boasts a state-of-the-art spa with rich, dark wood aesthetics. A popular honeymoon destination, the spa offers wedding and honeymoon packages ranging from three to seven nights, including couples horseback riding on the pristine beach and an exotic three-course dinner. The Mayan Mountain Lodge is geared more toward action-filled days, including canoeing through caves and zip lining through the rain forest while staying in cozy huts at night.
