The ancient human remains were found at the bottom of a cenote (derived from the Maya word dzonot) located more than 2,000 feet (610 meters) below sea level. Known as Hoyo Negro, or Black Hole in Spanish, the deep pit is located inside the massive Aktun-Hu cave system on the Yucatan Peninsula coast north of Belize.

I would like to visit a Belize rain forest for a once -in-a-lifetime opportunity to see nature up close and learn about the lush variety of plants and animals that still live in their natural habitat before they are lost – just the way the diversity of life has been lost where I live. The diversity is greater, the colors are brighter and more exotic in Belize, with rare tropical birds and lush native flowers. The Mayans that lived in Belize long ago have left archaeological treasures that I would love to explore and learn about. A trip to Belize would be an experience I will always remember, especially if I get to see the Great Blue Hole.

The Lodge at Chaa Creek has been selected by USA Today as a great place to take the family for spring break.

The newspaper vies with The Wall Street Journal for the position of having the widest circulation of any newspaper in the United States, something it previously held since 2003.

Something not often highlighted, but to me of huge importance, is the flexibility of a Belizean honeymoon experience and the ability to structure your time exactly as you wish.
I’ve been around, and I still can’t think of anywhere as beautiful, and as romantic as the Caribbean. Even Johnny Depp wouldn’t be as charming anywhere else. Pirates of the Mediterranean just doesn’t quite have it.

If you and your sweetheart prefer something a bit more adventurous than the typical getaway, Chaa Creek offers a stay unlike any other. The Belizean rainforest eco-lodge, located on a private 365-acre nature reserve near the foothills of the Maya Mountains, provides an ideal setting to reconnect with nature and one another. Wake to the sounds of the rainforest in one of the lodge’s many different accommodations, including thatched-roof cottages and treetop Jacuzzi suites.

We greatly enjoyed our four-day stay at Chaa Creek Resort , an ideal way to enjoy nature while being pampered at a delightful location by an immensely dedicated and caring staff. The rooms were spacious and spotless. Even though the garden cottages (where we stayed) have adjacent rooms, we were never bothered by noise from next door.

Amor, gra, liebe, maitsuna, rakkaus, cariad, mahal, kjaerlighet or love, there’s a word for it in every language the world over. And we’re such romantics here at Chaa Creek that we set aside an entire month to celebrate St Valentine’s Day in Belize.

Actun Tunichil Muknal, or ATM, as the locals call it, is located a four-hour drive inland from the Belizean coast. Then there’s a hike for two hours through heavy, humid rainforest. Then there are three rivers to cross. By the time my guide, Edward Alfaro, and I get to the cave, we are soaking wet. Which is excellent, because we spend half the time in the cave swimming though icy pools of water.

I love this special one of a kind place and plan to visit as soon as my schedule permits. This is in my mind the finest Eco resort on the planet and I am a very experienced traveler having been to Costa Rica many times.

According to a study recently presented by a team from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Maya building design, layout, construction, and finishes would have been especially good for projecting the human voice or sound from the sorts of musical instruments the Maya used. Using modern sound-measuring instruments and a 3-D computer model of the site, the team concluded that sounds made atop a temple in Palenque could be heard clearly for over a hundred meters.
