In a recent roundup of the year’s most exhilarating travel moments, the magazine 7×7 included a snorkeling trip to Placencia, Belize.
According to travel writer Shoshi Parks, “Coral reef devastation has changed the snorkeling game around the world. But off Placencia in southern Belize, the Caribbean’s underwater forests are still teeming with fluorescent fish.”
We’re delighted that Placencia made that list because we know how special it is.
Get Inspired in Belize
Are you ready to have a travel experience that’s unforgettably inspiring? Here’s why Placencia should be your next destination.
• Stunning beaches. The Placencia Peninsula is a 16-mile stretch of shorefront that locals call “barefoot perfect” for its soft sand, constant breezes, and turquoise waters. It’s a beach lover’s dream.
• Amazing aquatic life. The clear Caribbean waters off Placencia are perfect for snorkeling, diving, or visiting on a charter boat. These nationally protected marine refuges are home to many rare, endangered species, including sea turtles, manatees, and exotic waterfowl. Warm water and deep visibility make it easy for anyone to see dolphins, stingrays, and colorful reef fish.
• Chance to slow down. Everything moves at a slower pace in Belize, and you’ll find yourself slowing down to match that mood. Placencia Village, the largest town on the peninsula, is a small, quaint, former fishing village that’s home to unique stores, galleries, and restaurants.
Find Your Fun
Belize is filled with fun for every traveler. Spend the day at one of our many wildlife refuges or conservation centers to learn how we protect iguanas, howler monkeys, jaguars, and scarlet macaws. Hike through a rainforest, and cool off by stepping into a waterfall.
