Catch a glimpse of the 'elusive jaguar' in Belize
Friday, May 29, 2009Nature-lovers may decide to take a family adventure holiday to Belize this year to discover the country's fascinating wildlife.
Described by the Daily Mail as "a land of beauty, beasts and breathtaking sights", Belize could be an ideal destination for imaginative travellers.
Located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize is home to a vast array of wildlife, as well as pockets of rainforest and coral reefs.
An ideal location for eco-tourists, conscientious travellers may want to visit Chan Chich, a nature reserve in the north-west of the country and home to the "elusive" jaguar. According to the publication, the region offers more sightings of the big cat than anywhere else in the country.
Explore all the country has to offer on tours of the surrounding area and be amazed at the diverse flora and fauna and animals from tarantulas and crocodiles to howler monkeys and turtles.
Visitors can take a step back in time at the Mayan ruins that have become overgrown and invaded by a plethora of creatures. Or why not relax in a hammock beside the brilliant turquoise sea?
Belize is home to the longest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere and is home to ten native cultures.
