The Lodge at Chaa Creek Adventure Centre, Rainforest Reserve and Spa , has pioneered natural history travel to Belize since 1981. As a private 340-acre nature reserve set along the banks of the Macal River in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, we have provided a unique rainforest experience for thousands of people while maintaining an unspoiled ambience. Chaa Creek Inland Expeditions caters to the traveler looking for both physical and intellectual challenges, and our range of programs and activities have been designed to stimulate interest in the environment, culture and archaeology of Belize. We were awarded the 1998 Green Hotel of the Year by American Express and the Caribbean Hotel Association. Our jungle lodge is comprised of 18 comfortable palm-thatched cottage rooms, two garden suites, two treetop suites, and an orchard villa, nestled along the riverside in a setting of unmatched beauty and tranquility. Guests can interact with nature by exploring the river and miles of well-maintained trails, Mayan temple sites, and through activities such as hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, mountain biking and bird watching. Wildlife abounds, and some 250 species of birds have been sighted within the reserve. The Camp at Chaa Creek located within the nature reserve a half-mile down river from the lodge, features ten fully-screened casitas, each having two comfortable beds with fresh linens and a private sheltered porch for quiet relaxation and peaceful views in the undisturbed jungle habitat. A traditional Mestizo kitchen providing wholesome, traditional Belizean meals, and friendly local staff ensure a unique, comfortable rainforest experience.

The Rules Are Different in Belize Magazine Index Index For This Edition Subscribe The Rules Are Different in Belize Boy, Are They Different! By Lan Sluder For a certain kind of person there is a certain kind of place; and for certain people that place is Belize. Belize - the laid back Caribbean country of Central America! It's a favorite of those seeking a calmer lifestyle in close proximity to the wonders of nature. Like a un-planed 2x4 full of splinters, Belize is sturdy, rugged and full of sandfleas, but it also has it's share of beautiful islands, adventuresome spirits and rum soaked nights. It's the place we dreamed about as children. A place where we could do what we wanted without being called in to wash up for dinner. It's a place where you need to know how to repair your own car and replace parts of your plumbing with bailing wire and tape. It's also a place where big brother isn't looking over your shoulder and you can set your own building codes or own a flock of chickens. It's a place where you can spend the day fishing without trying to keep up with the Jones's. It's also become one of the hottest expatriate destinations in Latin America. ...it's not for everyone, but it may be for you. If so, there's a new eBook that will take you to Belize and help you stay there.

Because Belize just isn't like the U.S.A. Or Canada. It does have cheap rum, awe-inspiring ruins, beautiful Caribbean seas, and much more.

94. Garifuna 1995 A Critical and Cultural Analysis of an African People in the Americas Africanisms in the Garifuna culture of belize. UMI http://web.clas.ufl.edu/users/afburns/afrotrop/Garifuna.htm

Another influence that the Garifuna had in their defining lines of their culture was the obvious influence of the French during the beginning stages of colonial development in the New World. It was during this time that French missionaries were exploring the region of the Caribbean and teaching the Island Caribs many words of their native tongue, including the use of French numbers and counting systems. Certain expressions were than fused with the Arawak language that the Island Caribs were speaking. This created the Garifuna language that can still be heard counting in French today (Global Neighbors: Garifuna history, 1). All of these things combined have provided a brief understanding of who the Garifuna are, and where they come from. Furthermore, it has become apparent through reference points to other cultures and more in-depth studies of the Garifuna that their roots were cultivated in many places around the globe. For example, the traditions of their music dance, religious rites, and rituals are all very much seeded in their link to their African ancestry. While the Garinagu forms of subsistence, on the other hand, are more associated with their Island Carib ancestors. Even the European settlers of the New World had a very profound effect on the development of the Garifuna culture. The same culture that is characterized by the blending of distant pieces of worldly influences, driven by the human intuition to survive, and fueled by the desire for freedom.

95. Radio Belize The only station that actually reflects belizean culture is Radio belize. In the interest of preserving the national culture, Radio belize stepped in http://www.swl.net/patepluma/central/misc/belize89.html

Radio Belize: Caribbean Beat in Central America By Don Moore A slightly edited version of this article was originally published in the January, 1989 issue of Monitoring Times magazine. Where in the world would people name towns Gallon Jug, Washing Tree, Double Head Cabbage, Orange Walk Town, Burrel Boom, and Monkey River? Nowhere else but easy-going Belize, the world's number one producer of humorous place names. Perhaps these names are a product of Belize's distinctive history. Belize was once part of the great Maya Indian civilization. The Spanish came in the 1500s, claimed Belize, and tried a few tentative settlements. Finding no gold or silver, they soon left. In the 1600s, English pirates used Belize's numerous coves and offshore islands as bases from where they launched raids on Spanish treasure fleets. Along with their booty, the pirates carried stories of Belize's huge mahogany forests back to England. Soon British loggers and their slaves set up camp among the pirate bases. Pirates, loggers, and slaves mingled. As time passed, new groups were added to the mixture. An ethnically diverse nation was born. Ethnically Diverse Today about half of Belize's population is of mixed ancestry, descendants of loggers, pirates, and slaves; with negro slave blood predominating. The rest of the population is quite a hodgepodge. About twenty percent are Mayan Indians; Kekchi Mayas who have always lived in Belize, and Mopan Mayas who came in the 1860s, fleeing a civil war in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Another ten percent is German Mennonite. They came looking for a place to practice their simple agrarian religion, and today their farms are Belize's breadbasket.

Email us your questions, and we will find out what you need to know and email you back. Northern Belize - A Hidden Beauty Northern Belize is a sleeper. Like a mineral geode, seemingly plain and unassuming on the outside, once cracked, its beauty and charm will dazzle your eyes and sense of adventure. Cenote near Little Belize The north is not usually a priority destination for tourists because the transportation routes travel through primarily flat, young coastal plain. But venture off the main roads and your travels become an adventure. Northern Belize actually provides more variety of nature, history, and culture than any other districts of Belize. The jungle in the west provide habitat for some of the highest concentration of jaguar in the country, and probably the best chance to see one of Belize's five wildcats. The coastal lagoons to the east are vast feeding grounds for colonies of storks, herons and egrets as well as the endangered manatee. And in between flows beautiful river country, full of crocodile, turtle and tarpon. The natural wealth of northern Belize was not lost on the ancient Maya. Remains of an estimated 600 Mayan settlements lie scattered throughout the two northern districts of Belize, most unexcavated nor mapped. But the few that have been uncovered are spectacular. Lamanai, arguably Belize's finest archaeological reserve, picturesquely rises from the jungle along the New River lagoon. Fortress Cerros, perched atop a prominence jutting into Corozal Bay, guards the mouth of the New River. And Santa Rita, around which Corozal Town is built, was probably the ancient city of Chetumal.

98. The Cultural Survival Of The Garinagu In Belize The Garifuna, people, culture, music, dance, rituals and quest for survival. http://www.belizeanjourneys.com/features/garifuna/newsletter.html

GARIFUNA CULTURAL SURVIVAL by Dreddi Edited by Karla Heusner I have the unique opportunity to introduce my people to you. It is one that I do not take lightly. I have sat here trying to find a balance between an angle that will engage you and content that is presented honestly while remaining true to my people. Should I sing you one of our many songs, an oral tradition passed on from generation to generation ? Of course I cannot speak of songs without first introducing you to our music, our drums , the base and percussion pair and the maracas that accompany most of our songs. And what is music and song without dance ? For it is next to impossible to hear the resounding beats of drums and the call of our gayusa without jumping into the various foot motions that have been left to us by our ancestors. Should I tell a story as in the pre-television age when our storytellers who simultaneously transferred history, perspectives and beliefs to our younger generation would entertain us? Allow me then to take you back to the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. There in the mountainous terrain dwell two Amerindian groups, the Arawaks and Caribs, who have left the jungles of South America's Orinoco on their own exploration of the world. There on St. Vincent, these groups intermarry and, with the arrival of the Europeans, fight to defend their homeland against the French and British who seek to impose sovereignty. There on the island of St. Vincent, the hybrid Amerindian group intermarries with escaped and shipwrecked slaves. There on the island of Yurumein, now legendary and endearing to my people, we, the Garinagu of the
