For the family of animal lovers, horseback ride through the jungle or visit a butterfly farm. In fact, simply walking in Belize can be wild. Birds, flora, fauna, and local wildlife are spotted everywhere. For an interactive experience with one of the region’s favorite reptiles, head to the Green Iguana Conservation Project in the Cayo district. Based at San Ignacio Resort Hotel, the venture aims to conserve and look after the endangered species by educating the public about the role Green Iguanas play in the ecosystem. Here, visitors of all ages are given the opportunity to mingle with these wonderful reptiles and also learn about the incubation, hatching, rearing, and releasing process done at the project.

Indeed, there is so much to see and do in Belize for both family-friendly and eco-conscious. The country truly does make a wonderful destination to make special memories as a family, as well as teach our next generation the value responsible tourism plays when traveling.

Our role as parents is to teach our children to become good global citizens. Having the opportunity to do so through travel is truly special and we hope to share many more adventures together.
