Black Howler Monkeys, the Zoo and Guanacaste National Park
Con
the shops close early,sometimes it is too peaceful and it is a nice place to relax.
In a nutshell
The quietest capital city in the world
Bwana_Brown Says: The Zoo has an excellent collection of cats, with three or four regular Jaguars as well as a Black Jaguar topping the food chain. Next in size were a couple of Pumas (or Central American Cougars), one of which was very friendly as it rolled and purred by the fence - a former...
Bwana_Brown Says: Continuing our jungle trail walk from the Guanacaste tree, we came to the small Roaring Creek tributary of the Belize River. The forest trail followed high above the very deep ravine through which the creek flowed (and we could see the remains of an old steel bridge laying...
Bwana_Brown Says: The tour is given by one of the curators at the Zoo and starts with their caged snake and insect collection at the entrance building. Then, various lights (torches) were distributed (some people had their own - they would be good to bring to Belize, as we later found out as...
Bwana_Brown Says: Our first objective, after picking up our rental vehicle from the International airport northwest of Belize City, was the Community Baboon Sanctuary located only 13 miles (21 km) away at Bermudian Landing. This area of Belize was set aside by the local population to help...
Bwana_Brown Says: The Belize Zoo is quite an interesting place! It is different from most zoos in that it does not import animals from various parts of the world but simply takes in creatures that are native to Central America. The various animals and birds that call the Zoo 'home' have not...
Bwana_Brown Says: After finishing our morning Zoo excursion, Sue and I headed back to the Tropical Education Center to pack up and clear out. We had invited our friends from Caye Caulker to accompany us on the remainder of our rental vehicle travels (they were at the start of a 7-week...
1 Review Mopan River Resort's food is outstanding! Miss Pam, as gracious husband Jay likes to call her, has bookshelf after bookshelf in their hacienda devoted to cooking. She loves to cook, took a culinary course in Bangkok, and has taught her Belizean cooks international cooking. The cook staff excels in...
Bull Frog Inn: Belmopan's Best
Bwana_Brown Says: Our final meal on this leg of our trip was at the Bull Frog Inn in Belmopan as we were headed southeast on the Hummingbird Highway, after finishing up with the Belize Zoo and Guanacaste National Park. The Bull Frog Inn is quite a nice establishment, located on the eastern...
JeanCooke Says: Benque Viejo-- Local bars feature karaoke until well after midnightDogs along the riverbank bark and howl as people pass by and drunks stumble home in the darkness. casual
Bwana_Brown Says: Back in early-December, 2005 I got on the internet to check out all the car rental agencies at the Phillip S W Goldson International airport outside Belize City for the three days that we would be free to roam on this segment of our trip. When I visit a country, I like to...
Bwana_Brown Says: In the course of our travels in Belize, we drove on parts of all of it's main Highways, including the Northern (Belize City-Mexico), Western (Belize City-Guatemala), Hummingbird (Belmopan-Dangriga) and Southern (Dangriga-Punta Gorda). These were all very good sealed highways...
Bwana_Brown Says: As we passed through Belmopan, in both directions, we took the time to stop at Brodie's department store on the eastern side of the town. In both cases we picked up some bottles of water and wine (US$13.80 per bottle of 'cheap' Chilean stuff) as well as home-made banana...
daniemarie Says: The special part of this store is that you wont need another shop once you stop here. Any kind of food or drink. The final amount i would say is $35.00.
Bwana_Brown Says: After travelling just over half-way along the Hummingbird Highway toward the east coast, it became evident that this Stann Creek District part of the country was home to numerous large citrus groves. Along both sides of the highway, orange (mostly) and grapefruit trees...
Bwana_Brown Says: While we were on our guided jungle walk in the Community Baboon Sanctuary at Bermudian Landing, Sue and the guide walked past a large termite nest that had fallen off a tree trunk and was lying in the middle of the trail. Being an inquisitive sort, I stopped to have a closer...
JeanCooke Says: The smaller the better for ease in traveling. Teva's, tennis shoes, hiking boats, rain gear, nylon or easily dried clothes. Humidity is high and cotton takes days to dry. Mopan River Resort will do a large mesh bag of laundry the same day for US $10.--a real bargain. REI...
JeanCooke Says: Green Iguana Conservation Project: http://www.sanignaciobelize.com/project.html, 'I 'Guana Go to Cayo' at the San Ignacio Resort by the Princess Casino in San Ignacio.
Aquacate Reserve a preserve...
JeanCooke Says: Aquacate Reserve a preserve given to Belize government by the Mennonite community because it contains two large lakes and jungle covered Maya ruins. Alexi our guide found 2 howler monkeys sleeping way high in 2 trees. We made howler noises and shook trees but the monkeys...
Bwana_Brown Says: This map shows where we went in Belize during our 3-days of rental driving. After taking a taxi from Belize City to the International airport at Ladyville, we picked up our Honda Passport SUV at about noon. We initially struck out north toward Crooked Tree but soon branched...
Bwana_Brown Says: Since I don't bother with owning a cellular phone, I find that it is always handy to have a local phone card to avoid the hassles of having the correct change on hand should you need to make a call for some reason. Not knowing how often we would use the card, while on Caye...

Belmopan is a wonderful place to visit because it gives you a lot of time and space in your lifetime.

Nothing to see here (on the page and in Belmopan)! Probably the capital with the minimum residents (5000).
