Vacationers may be hesitant to travel to Belize in the summer for a few reasons, namely because of the hotter weather in Central America, the fear of a language barrier, and the possibility of large crowds of other travelers. Fortunately, Belize remains an undiscovered gem for many people, English is the country's official language and there are plenty of ways to cool off no matter where you are.
Relax Poolside Or At A Spa
The main reason most people go on vacation is to unwind and relax. While you can sit poolside anywhere, it's another experience entirely to do it at an elegant resort surrounded by a jungle paradise. Belize is also known for its spas, where visitors can go to relax, refresh and feel their best. Establishments in the country are very environmentally-conscious, so care is taken in most spas to operate in a sustainable manner.
Plenty Of Ways To Cool Off And Swim
Being right on the Caribbean Sea, there are plenty of opportunities to swim and cool off during the warm summer months in Belize. However, there are also some amazing places to swim farther inland, such as jungle pools and under picturesque waterfalls. A favorite activity is actually cave tubing tours, where you can relax and cool off in an inner tube as you drift with a guide through amazing cave systems, some of which were used as sacred ceremonial and burial sites by the ancient Maya.
Get To Know New Cultures
It can be an enlightening experience to immerse yourself in other cultures during a summer trip, turning it into an invaluable learning experience. Belize has a variety of diverse cultures, with many people in the country considering themselves Mestizo or Creole. The Garifuna are descendants of people from West Africa and the Caribbean. The descendants of the ancient Maya are also alive and well in Belize and maintain a thriving culture. Other distinct cultural groups from around the world have begun to call Belize home, including Mennonite, East Indian, Middle Eastern and Asian people.
Summer Events In San Ignacio
San Ignacio is the largest settlement in the Cayo District but still has a small population and a rustic, charming feel. Throughout the summer, festivals, events, and marketplaces are found throughout the town where you can have a great time and support local artisans. Because the Cayo District is Belize's agricultural heartland, the produce, meats, and cheeses are all fresh and to die for.
Belize is a great place to go on summer vacation, but the Cayo District is something special. Come visit the Cayo District and stay at Cahal Pech Village Resort this summer for one of the most amazing experiences you can have anywhere.
