This half-day get away is a great overview of Belize! Depart Belize City for the Belize Zoo, a wonderful wildlife habitat, created as a sanctuary for the country’s indigenous species. The Belize Zoo was first created for animals which were injured or donated to the facility and could not be returned to the wild. This is home for an impressive array of Large Cats, Primates, Reptiles and Birds, which gives you an opportunity to view Belize’s prolific wildlife in one location. Then it’s on to see the “city sights”. Belize City today remains the commercial capital of the country and is home to about 75,000 people. The Colonial Governor’s Mansion, Redbrick St. John’s Cathedral and the Supreme Court buildings, flanked by cannons used in the “Battle of St. George’s Caye” in 1798, are only a few of the sites left over from our Colonial past. Note the Colonial wooden architecture that is evident throughout many of the city’s buildings. Your guide will provide an interesting reflection of the city’s history.
