The Ultimate Guide to Traveling To Belize This Fall (Trip Ideas and Inspiration)

travel to belize this fall

The “green season” tends to scare off a lot of tourists coming to Belize, but their overabundant caution can be to your benefit. Despite weather being rainier during this season and the presence of more storms, most of the Fall is actually quite pleasant. Fall rain tends to come late at night or early in the morning, keeping temperatures mellow without impeding on your daily activities.

There’s a huge financial benefit as well. Tourists flock to the country to get away from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter and to party in the summer, but September through November is the time when prices hit rock bottom. And ironically, the off-season for tourists feature some of the wildest and most interesting festivities throughout the year. Belize’s Independence Day is September 21, but the events tend to spill out into the streets throughout most of the month. The enormous festival known as St. George’s Day is celebrated on September 10.

But the best part of traveling to Belize is how little things change on the off-season. The temperatures remain pleasantly warm and tropical throughout the Autumn months, meaning that you’ll have as many opportunities as you want to sprawl out on the beach, snorkel around the Belize Barrier Reef, or enjoy fresh seafood on the boardwalk of downtown San Pedro.

Similarly, the most exciting excursions in mainland Belize are still available on the off-season, and you won’t have to pack into buses overflowing with tourists to experience them either. Whether you’re going to go cave tubing through the spooky underground rivers of Belize, zip-lining through yards of unspoiled jungle, or exploring ancient cities of the Mayan Empire, you can do so cheaper than at any other time of the year.

Visiting during the Fall is an opportunity to see what life is really like in Belize, apart from the hustle and flash of the tourist season boom. Fortunately, the fact that English is the primary language makes it easy for a majority of North Americans and other travelers from abroad to enjoy the experience and get right in the thick of things. It’s worth it too. The Fall sits right in the middle of lobster fishing season, and conch fishing begins later in the season. The seafood in Belize is some of the most delicious you’ll ever taste, but you’ll find the tastiest choices by asking the locals.

If you want to see the real Belize while still having the opportunity to explore everything, the quiet coastal town of Placencia on Belize’s southern peninsula is perfect. And there’s no more hospitable place to stay than Chabil Mar. Let us help you find a Belize vacation package you’ll love.

Placencia Unveils New Sign

placencia sign

With its picturesque location near the Caribbean Sea and its shimmering waters, the word that comes to mind most often that describes Belize is beauty.

Beauty is also the description travelers use for the Placencia Peninsula. It’s no surprise why a very special sign was unveiled in Placencia last week that speaks to the bounty of beauty found everywhere in the country.

Though Belize is about the size of New Jersey, it has a small and culturally fascinating population that attracts visitors from around the world. The new stunning artistic sign was created to enhance the image of the Placencia Peninsula. It is large enough to be seen from a distance and colorful enough to catch the attention of travelers to this region of the Caribbean.

The sign is structurally modern as man high letters rest atop a sturdy platform spelling out the word “Placencia.” It is highly likely the new Placencia sign will be a landmark attraction. It has to be seen to be fully enjoyed.

The Belizean artists who painted each letter captured the essence of Belize and Placencia. The artists used a variety of colors and designs like the colorful scarlet macaw, tropical flowers, a stunning jaguar, a diver, manta rays, and a depiction of fishing in Belize waters. What is most interesting is how the artists created the new sign with a three-dimensional look in collage style.

The new sign does far more than attract attention. It is an invitation to spend time in the Placencia Peninsula.

Imagine getting away from it all and just relaxing on the pristine beach or in a hammock with the gentle sea breeze cooling the tropical sun. Later you can sit beneath swaying palms with the evening moonlight dancing on the water and a luscious rum libation in hand. The real message in the newly completed sign is, “Welcome” to Belize, the Placencia Peninsula, and Chabil Mar

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:

belize fishing

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.

Easter is one of the most important holidays in Belize. Most Belizeans are practicing Catholics, and they take the holiday seriously.

Go to Benque Viejo del Carmen to see the annual reenactment of the Easter story. Cheer on the riders at the 140-mile Holy Saturday Cross Country Cycle Race.
