Belize and Placencia in October

 

October is one of the best times to visit Belize and Placencia, and getting to this magnificent country just got a lot easier.

Here are five great reasons to visit Placencia this October:

Escape the Tourist High Season 

 

Starting in November, Belize can sometimes be a crowded place as vacationers wanting to escape the cold weather in North America head to the sunny beaches of Placencia. October, however, is just as warm and sunny but has far fewer visitors, making October a great time to visit.

The Reef 

Whether you like fishing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, or just working on your tan, there are few places more lovely to visit in October than the Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Two protected marine conservation areas are located just a few miles offshore from Placencia, and some of the finest dive sites in the world are found in the southern part of the reef near Placencia.

The Jungle 

Not to be outdone, the jungles of Belize offer plenty to see and do for visitors as well. Over 600 ancient Maya temples, pyramids, and sacred sites dot the landscape, and there are dozens of national parks, animal sanctuaries, and wildlife refuges to visit. Popular activities include hiking, horseback riding, bird watching, zip lining, and cave tubing (floating down underground rivers).

The jungle is home to 300 species of orchids, some 600 species of birds, and exotic animals like giant iguanas, black howler monkeys, and jaguars.

Reduced Rates on Accommodation 

 

With October falling during the “off” season, many of the country’s finest hotels and resorts offer steep discounts. Many tourists are surprised to discover just how affordable staying in a luxury beach resort can be in October.

If you’re heading to Placencia in October, be sure to stay at Chabil Mar Resort. Located just steps from the beach, Chabil Mar is a multiple award-winning resort and perennial TripAdvisor favorite.
