5. Travel here to experience
We travel to experience all that the world has to offer. Belize has so much to offer and so many things to experience. From the world’s #1 most sacred cave, to a helicopter ride over the Blue hole. That’s not all, why not try your hands at taking a snorkel or dive with sharks and rays. Experience the local culture by eating delicacies and dishes. Chimole, known as the ‘black dinner’, draws on Mexican and Maya cultures to create a delicious chunky stew. Or a traditional meal of ‘Hudut’ which is a mashed plantain recipe that comes from the Garifuna people. Hudut is commonly used to refer to the popular fish and coconut milk stew served with mashed plantain.
Experiences help bring meaning to our lives. They both shape and define us.
