Belize

Belize, with its colorful cities and towns, islands and beaches, is the only country in Central America where English is the official language. However, Spanish is spoken by more than half the population, as are Belizean Creole English, Garifuna, and Belizean Mayan. Belize borders Mexico and Guatemala.

The country’s current territory has been inhabited since 1500 BC by the Maya, later influenced by Europeans from 1492, initially by the Spanish, and subsequently by the British after their victory at the Battle of St. George’s Caye in 1798. Although it has been considered an independent country since 1981, it remains a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, which makes it dependent on the British monarchy.

Its capital was Belize City, home to the country’s most important Catholic cathedral, the Holy Redeemer Cathedral. Although the capital is currently the city of Belmopan.

Caye Caulker 

Caye Caulker or Cayo Corker in Spanish, is the name of one of the small islands in the maritime territory of Belize. It is known for its reefs, where diving to enjoy the marine wonders is the perfect respite from the monotony of city life, where winter can be harsh.

Caye Caulker boasts a colorful village where spring and festivity reign, thanks to the tranquility that emanates from the bohemian and welcoming atmosphere of this small island, measuring 8 km by 2 km.

Caye Caulker is a place to refresh with new friendships. People tends to visit in times when the can’t slow down in their own life, until they visit Caye Caulker, since the motto of the city is “go slow”.

Ambergris Caye

Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize, with a population of 2,000. Ambergris Caye boasts one of the most famous beaches, San Pedro, with its white Caribbean sand. 

Hiking along the island, which is only 45 miles long, allows you to explore the entire territory in a week. 

Like most of Belize’s marine territory, diving is a major activity on Ambergris Caye, not only for its beauty but also because it is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world. 

It is common to find areas where you can swim with nurse sharks. Although it may seem like a scary idea, the experience is not distressing, as nurse sharks do not attack humans. 

Another popular activity on Ambergris Caye is fishing for tarpon, bonefish, and pompano.

Breadfruit

Breadfruit is a fruit native to coastal regions and is prepared in various ways in Belize. It has a spongy, starchy texture similar to that of a potato. It can be used to make bread by drying and grinding it into flour. It can also be fried as a potato.

It is a staple food in the regions where it grows because the fruit can be used at all stages of its development.

Belice

Belice, con sus coloridas ciudades y pueblos, sus islas y playas, es el único país ubicado en centro América en el que su lengua oficial es el inglés, no obstante, el español es hablado por más de la mitad de la población, al igual que el inglés criollo beliceño, la lengua garífuna, la lengua maya beliceña. Belice colinda con México y Guatemala. 

El territorio actual del país ha estado poblado desde el 1500 a.C. por los mayas, posteriormente influido por los europeos desde 1492, en principio por los españoles, posteriormente por los británicos tras ganar la batalla de Cayo San Jorge en 1798. Aunque se considera un país independiente desde 1981, sigue perteneciendo a la Mancomunidad de las Naciones, lo que le hace depender de la monarquía británica. 

Su capital era la Ciudad de Belice, donde se encuentra la catedral católica más importante del país, la Catedral del Santo Redentor, o bien, Holy Redeemer Cathedral. Aunque actualmente la capital es la ciudad de Belmopán.

Cayo Corker

 

Cayo Corker en español, o bien, Caye Caulker en inglés es el nombre de una de las islas del territorio marítimo de Belice, y es conocida por sus arrecifes donde bucear para disfrutar de las maravillas marinas es el esplendor que uno quiere disfrutar para descansar de la monotonía de la vida en la ciudad donde el invierno puede ser inclemente. 

Cayo Corker cuenta con un pueblo lleno de colores, donde la primavera y lo festivo imperan debido a la tranquilidad que se emana en el ambiente bohemio y acogedor de esta pequeña isla de 8 km por 2 km. 

Caye Corker es un lugar para refrescarse con nuevas amistades. Las personas suelen visitar cuando no pueden bajar su propio ritmo de vida en los lugares en que viven, así que una visita a Cayo Corker es la receta, pues su eslogan es “ve lento”.

Ambergris Caye

El Cayo Ámbar Gris, en inglés, Ambergris Caye, es la isla más grande de Belice con una población de 2,000 habitantes. En Cayo Ámbar Gris se encuentra una de las playas más conocidas que es San Pedro, con su arena blanca caribe.  

Las caminatas a lo largo de la isla de tan sólo 45 millas permite que en una semana se pueda disfrutar de todo el territorio. 

Como la mayoría del territorio marítimo de Belice, también en Ámbar Gris el buceo es una actividad importante no sólo por la belleza, sino porque es la segunda barrera más grande de arrecifes en el mundo. 

Es común encontrar las zonas donde se puede nadar con tiburones nodrizas, aunque pueda parecer una idea espeluznante, la experiencia no es angustiante, pues los tiburones nodriza no atacan a los seres humanos.

Otra de las actividades importantes a realizar en Cayo Ámbar Gris, es la pesca de sábalo, macabí y palometa. 

Fruta de pan

La fruta de pan es un fruto de las regiones costeras y que en Belice se prepara de diferentes maneras, pues tiene una textura esponjosa almidonada que más parece a la de una papa. Se puede utilizar para preparar panes, pues se seca y se muele, haciendo con esta una harina. 

Es un alimento básico en las regiones en que se da, debido a que se puede aprovechar el fruto en todas las etapas de su crecimiento.
