Things we enjoyed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamanai Ruins<\/strong> – decent museum and set of ruins; to get there you will ride through an area populated by Amish with horse and buggy
Ambergris Caye\/San Pedro<\/strong> – travel here by water taxi<\/a>; great place to stay if you like to scuba dive\/snorkel<\/a>; don\u2019t miss Shark Ray Alley
Caye Caulker<\/strong> – reputed to be quieter and cheaper than San Pedro (didn\u2019t visit)
Belmopan<\/strong> – despite being the capital city, there’s really nothing to see here; we did enjoy Everest Nepalese and Indian Restaurant<\/a> for both the dining and the cultural experience<\/a>
Placencia<\/strong> – quiet town, great scuba diving from here too
San Ignacio<\/strong> – great place to base for several sites
– ATM Cave is an absolute must do, rated most sacred cave by National Geographic and it a moderately physical experience; go with Mayawalk Tours<\/a> and ask for Juan Carlos to be the tour guide; they also offer cave tubing<\/a>, which is pretty cool and best to do before the ATM Cave, because the ATM Cave is the best of the bunch
– Caracol ruins are pretty cool, and contains the tallest manmade structure in Belize (and you can climb it!); it’s a little out of the way – half of the 80 km ride out is unpaved, but not very difficult for a motorcycle, and doable with pretty much any 4-wheel vehicle
– Xunantunich is another great ruin to visit; you will cross a river on a hand-cranked ferry; this site is visited by cruise ship tours because it\u2019s the easiest one to access, so it can be a little crowded; there is lots of wildlife to observe while you’re climbing the various buildings, including monkeys and large lizardy creatures<\/p>\n\n\n
