DRIFT Travel Fall/Holiday 2018

Stretch out your sea legs and
learn about ancient cultures
with a day trip to one of Belize’s
numerous Mayan ruins. Once
known as the epicenter of Maya
civilization, Belize offers the highest
concentration of archaeological
sites in Mesoamerica including
Altun Ha, Xunantunich and
Lamanai. Explore the Sacred
temples, pyramids and other ancient
structures amongst luscious jungle
backdrops.
Whether you’re an experienced
diver or a first-time snorkeler you
will be astonished at the sheer
amount of activity “under the sea.”
The Belize barrier Reef System is
a UNESCO World Heritage Site
and for good reason. Comprised
of seven protected areas this reef is
home to over 500 different species
of tropical fish, along with whale
sharks and manatees. With many of
the best spots being reachable only
by boat you can enjoy easy access
whenever you like.
Belize offers a unique fusion of
Caribbean chill with Central
American flair. Drop anchor at the
small island of Caye Caulker and
you will discover a village full of
brightly colored houses and friendly
faces. Take in the unique artisan
shops, reggae music and enjoy
fresh lobster at one of the local
restaurants.
