Belize National Animal

The Tapir or Mountain Cow (Tapirello Bairdii) is the largest land mammal of the American tropics. The tapir is a stoutly built animal with short legs, about the size of a donkey and weighs up to 600 pounds. Its general color is dusty brown with a white fringe around the eyes and lips, white tipped ears and occasional white patches of fur on the throat and chest. In spite of its local name, the tapir is not a cow. It is closely related to the horse and is also kin to the rhinosceros.

The tapir is a vegetarian. It spends much of its time in water or mud shallows, and is a strong swimmer. The National Animal is protected under the wildlife protection laws of Belize, thus the hunting of the tapir is illegal.

Traveling Tips: Make a Travel Journal

Pictures may not be enough to describe all the amazing things you live on a trip. That is why we recommend you to take a notebook, pens, pencils, glue, and everything you need in order to write and express in the best way possible, how perfect your trip was. Be sure that wherever you travel, you got to have your journal with you, use your senses, observe, let local people make entries on it, get a simple camera that works, remember details, and keep little things that can be pasted on the pages of your journal and that may have a special meaning for you. It is important that during your trip you take time to write, it should sound bored or unnecessary but it is a good idea because you will have fresh details and you’ll be able to describe them better. You can also take brochures or information about the place you are visiting, writing will be more inspired and substantial that way. We are sure that when you get back home, you are going to be really amazed of what you wrote, and of course, you will be proud of showing your travel journal to you family and friends.

Traveling Tips: Use sunscreen

It is a good general rule to apply sunscreen when you are at the beach, or under the sun. The sunscreen should be applied about a half hour before going outside to allow time for it to take effect. And it should be reapplied at least every two hours, when you are outdoors for a prolonged period and especially after swimming, bathing, drying off with a towel or handkerchief. Water and perspiration resistant sunscreens are available. However their protection will not last indefinitely. When you visit us, remember you have to use sunscreen; sun can cause terrible damages on your skin if you do not protect yourself. Whenever you visit the Sunbreeze Suites and go to the beach, bring a sunscreen!

“We would stay here again, no questions asked!”

The Hotel Belize was perfect for us, it was close to the water taxi and the excitement of San Pedro, and we were able to walk everywhere. The hotel employees were friendly and helpful with everything, including assistance with the booking and organizing of any trip excursions that we were interested in. This hotel is the perfect place to relax in the pool and enjoy the island life.
