2008 July/August Pathways: Belize
|
|
 Belize
has long been a destination for ecotourists, adventure seekers and
enthusiasts of the Maya civilization. In our litigious society—where
you can be sued if your fast food is too fattening or your coffee too hot—adventure is not an easy
thing to find. Not so in Belize. You can climb up steep stone steps of
sacred temples or down into an ancient sepulcher to contemplate the
lives of those long gone. You can view the altars used by long-dead
priests and see the bones of their sacrificial victims without a glass
shield between you and the artifacts. This is no Pirates of the
Caribbean ride, where you must keep your hands inside the car at all
times.
