Southern BelizeThe least visited region, it holds the majority of the Garifuna and Maya populations of Belize as well as many Maya sites, large tracts of forest, pretty offshore cays, the wildlife-rich Monkey River and the popular seaside peninsula of Placencia. DangrigaDangriga, the largest town in southern Belize, is the centre of the Garifuna culture – people of mixed Carib and African descent. It is ideal as a base for visits to Cockscomb Reserve with its good walking trails, and offshore islands and atolls including South Water Cay, and Lighthouse Reef and Glovers Reef – both offering superb diving. HopkinsApproximately eight miles south of Dangriga, Hopkins is a small traditional Garifuna fishing village with several local bars and restaurants.
PlacenciaThe long, thin peninsula, 40 km south of Dangriga, is one of Belize’s most popular holiday locations with the best beaches on the mainland. From there it is easy to explore Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the Monkey River, inland Maya ruins such as Nimli Punit, and the myriad islands dotting the southern reaches of the Belize barrier reef system.
ToledoThe most southern district and perhaps the least visited region of Belize. It is the least developed area of the country and therefore suitable for the more adventurous traveller. Mayan communities, small archaeological sites, rainforest rivers and off- shore islands are all part of the attraction of this area. |
