Find The Joy of Traveling At A Slower Pace In Belize

belize slow travel

With its sheer variety of activities, locales, biomes, and cultures, Belize is one of the best travel destinations around to meet any traveler’s needs. While adrenaline junkies and admirers of history can find plenty to keep themselves occupied on a Belizean adventure, there is also the notion of slow travel.

Slow travel is the sort of experience that strongly resonates with the spirit of Belize’s people; why rush from one stop to the next when you can just bask in your local surroundings and discover the sort of things that only occur naturally? Slow travel is a way to see a country at a relaxed pace, rather than forcing the need to do something at every minute of your trip in 2022 or any other year.

Slow Travel Notions in Belize

Slow travel is inspired by the “slow food” movement of the 1980s and seeks to bring together new experiences for travelers while preserving the natural beauty of what can be experienced. Examples of the sort of slow travel experiences you can find when you come to Belize include the following:

Fishing with locals, especially in places like Placencia.

Placencia started out as a fishing village and the settlement has not forgotten how it came to be despite its growing awareness among travelers and ex-pats.

placencia

The World’s Longest Main Street.

This fixture serves as a base of operations for countless merchants and artisans. This one road will bring you into contact with dancers, drummers, street cuisine, and plenty of shops. Despite the huge variety of encounters along this route, you can rest safe knowing that it is all local to Belize. This means that any purchase goes directly toward education about the many different cultures of Belize.

garifuna

Explore Indigenous Villages.

Belize is home to distinct cultures like the Mayas, Garifunas, and Creoles. While the Maya influence on Belize is well-known, fewer people know of the Garifuna or Mestizos; these cultures all have their own major settlements, with Dangriga, Seine Bight, and Punta Gorda being especially notable to Garifuna.

While Belize is a fine place for “slow travelers” to visit for many wonderful reasons, words only go so far. If you want to experience slow travel in Belize, we recommend Placencia, in the south. Chabil Mar Villas is located here and is an award-winning beach resort for anyone visiting the Placencia Peninsula.
