So you've only got one day in Belize and you want to get a good feel for its culture and history without forgoing its beach? This trip is perfect for you!
This jam-packed tour begins with a tour of Belize City. Belize City is teeming with commerce and has adapted its two sides of the river with a connection by the Swing Bridge, the only manual swing bridge in the world. You will see the bustle, along with historic Fort George, a variety of embassies, consulate homes, and an area called the Beverly Hills of Belize.
From here, you will visit Old Belize, a site that will offer a deeper appreciation for the country and people of Belize. You can enjoy the displays at your leisure, including a rainforest exhibit that showcases giant tropical trees that tower the path you walk. There is also a Maya exhibit, portraying the mysticism of Mayan culture.
After the sensory overload of the Old Belize exhibit, you'll spend approximately 3 hours at Cucumber Beach, located on the same property as Old Belize. On the beach you can dip into the Caribbean Sea, lounge under one of the palapas or a coconut tree with your favorite drink, have a bite to eat or bask in the sun for a bit. There is no snorkeling from this beach since the reef system is about seven miles from shore.
At approximately 1:30 you'll be picked up for transfer back to the Tourism Village.
After this wonderful sampling of Belize, your only trouble will be not wanting to leave!
Bring or wear your swimsuit. There are changing facilities and fresh water showers at the beach. Don't forget a towel, sunblock and a hat. Bring money if you wish to purchase food or beverages at the beach.
