Placencia Village Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize, 501-523-3540
So we finished our three day sailing trip from Caye Caulker in Placencia and loved it so much we decided to stay here. Everyone told us the middle of the country was flooded and tours were not likely. Placencia has a great beach with three restaurants/bars on the water. Our hotel was very inexpensive and took credit cards. Barefoot bar had a huge party for holloween and great food. I love this place.
Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize iwaldonHola, Ian here: Sailing into the huge bay of Placencia, we could tell this was going to be another beautiful beach haven for us to chill out on for the next few days. Also, as awesome as the sailing trip had been, we were both (including all the others on board) looking forward to sleeping in a proper bed and having proper toilet facilities. Kamani, the skipper, had offered a room for Charlotte and I to rent from one of his family members houses on arrival. So upon docking, we found his broth...
Placencia, Belize saanddkAfter a 6am start, a water taxi and 3 buses (which we managed to connect with so easily we were shocked) we got to Placencia and didn't really know what to make of it. We were dropped next to nothing and told that this was the centre and we were like 'What?!' We made our way to the beach and found a place to stay which was right on the beach which was nice! However, the beach wasn't that great as loads of dirt had come in from the sea and again, the weather was not that warm (although again, ...
Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize sarahbaudains Punta Gorda—couldn't stay there. It’s too sleepy, and with nothing to see. Even the tourism offices were closed and tours were not offered. It was my first stop in Belize and I made the mistake of asking for more change after buying bananas when the lady gave me a USD$1 bill. She was right, because USD$1 = 2 BZD. The immigration office was filled with nonchalant and unconcerned staff.
Independence—just a bus stop. People living here and there but so basic and seeming...
... girl was getting even more friendly with the guy from the carpark. A few minutes later, he had thrown both of theit bikes out and drove off in a rage and things looked as if they could errupt with the locals any second...luckily they didnt and we walked back home<br><br>Spent antoher few days there...mainly on our balcony or in the bar and really enjoyed it before we heard a hurricane was on its way so decided to make our way to Mexico<br>
Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize fosweb... river and with the muddy brown water being so high we were soon floating pretty swiftly down the river on our inner tubes, it was wicked! Definitely a moment we will all remember (especially the jungle book tunes Isobelle & Regular!), an entire river to ourselves in a tropical jungle, the sun beating down, on what would be a working day at home!, just paradise, all that was missing was a cold beer in our hands! The wildlife we saw too was staggering, I have never seen such ...
Cockscomb Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize nikandads2008... They are loud and flashing lights every where. We are glad to be away from them and wonder if they will see anything. We come to a bench and sit a bit more. We hear something in the water and investigate. Nope. Again we hear it. This time we spot a tapir, Belize's national animal. Julian tells us it is about 500 lbs. I later read they can get up to 700lbs. The one we see reminds me of a huge and taller anteater ...
Maya Center/Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize azmarine... We were lucky enough to hear a fine display when we were sitting atop of the tallest structure with the view that is in Star Wars. I took a video of the view with the monkey call as the soundtrack, so hopefully that will come out. spider monkeys, playful and rowdy tarantula- we just saw his velvety legs under a rock ledge as he wasn't falling for our guides taunts to make him come out toucans, amazing birds with massive yellow beaks ...
Rio Dulce, Guatemala nancydebWe are entering troubled water! Until now, we always had a hotel booked before we landed somewhere. Or we had a car to drive around to shop. This comes to an end now. I guess the further south we go, the more difficult it will be to figure transport and hotels out. Yesterday we spent more than 6 hours on internet, trying to figure out how to: · Get out of here (fly or sail to Honduras or Guatemala) · How to get from there to the Caribbean ...
Placencia, Belize tonyandmarina... Placencia, a small laid back village at the end of a peninsula. Everyone is barefoot and rasta type. (I've been offered pot four times already.) It is so humid here you sweat just reading a book. Angela has been eating raw food only now for three days. Looking good! Guys still hitting on her. ("Oh, is that you Dad over there? I thought he ...
