Ambergris Caye
Belize's largest island Ambergris Caye has a fascinating history that goes back to the days of the Maya, European Pirates, and Mexican Refugees who all form part of the island´s colorful history. The descendants from Mexico make up most of the island's population today. The economy of the island was once dependent on the coconut industry, followed by the fishing industry, but it is now dependent on tourism. The coastline of Belize is protected by the 190 miles long barrier reef, the second largest living coral reef in the world. In Mayan times, Ambergris Caye was a trading post. The Marco Gonzalez ruins at the southern tip of the caye and the Basil Jones site to the north, as well as the many recently excavated "home sites" in the heart of San Pedro Town, give evidence to a former Maya population of 10,000 people. The narrow channel that separates Mexico and Belize was dug by the Maya to provide a trade route from the bay of Chetumal to the Caribbean. Enjoy some pristine beaches and exceptional diving and snorkeling on this incredible caye…. All part of your incredible trip to Belize.
