Download or read book Lan Sluder s Guide to Mainland Belize written by Lan Sluder and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprise! This travel guide focuses on Mainland Belize, and it's the only guide in print that does. Many travelers come to Belize mainly for its islands and atolls, with their great diving, snorkeling, fishing and other marine sports. That's totally understandable. However, many of us also value Belize for what it offers on the Mainland. There is so much to do and see on the Mainland that you can spend weeks or months exploring the 8,867 square miles of rainforest, savannah and coastal areas and still not see it all. This is THE guide for those whose primary interest is Mainland Belize: Its rainforests, wildlife and bird encounters, its caves, rivers and low mountains, its amazing ancient Maya ruins and contemporary Maya villages, its adrenalin-pumping outdoor adventures like jungle trekking, hiking, mountain biking and cave tubing. Of course, you can also enjoy the pleasures of the beaches and the water on the mainland. In Placencia, Hopkins and elsewhere, you're only a few splashes or a short boat ride away from wonderful snorkeling, diving, fishing and other maritime activities. Everywhere in Belize you'll encounter its greatest treasure: the Belizean people. If variety is the spice of life, Belize is red hot, because the people of Belize come in myriad colors, races, backgrounds, religions and cultures: Mestizo, Creole, Maya, Garifuna, East Indian, Chinese, Europeans and others, and often these are mixed together in a creative gumbo of genes, languages and traditions. If they share one common thing it is a welcoming attitude. Sure, there are exceptions, but in general you won't find friendlier folks than in Belize. If you want to visit and enjoy other parts of Belize beyond the Mainland, get one of the other guides to Belize: Lan Sluder's Guide to Belize, Lan Sluder's Guide to the Cayes, Coast and Beaches of Belize and Best Hotels and Restaurants in Belize. Sluder also has authored every edition of Fodor's Belize has written books about retiring and relocating to Belize, such as Easy Belize. Altogether Lan Sluder has done 18 books and ebooks on Belize. If for now your main interest is Mainland Belize, you'll find this guidebook of value. It's based on a quarter century of reporting on Belize. Lan Sluder has traveled to every corner of this beautiful country. He has stayed in more than 250 different hotels, inns, guesthouses, resorts, lodges and hostels, and he has tried nearly every restaurant in the country. So you get first-hand knowledge. The "best of the best" in lodging, dining and attractions are listed in RED and those that are truly special are denoted with from one to five hearts. This makes it even easier for you to use your time wisely and to select the best hotels and restaurants. This book covers every part of the land portion of Belize from Corozal in the north, Punta Gorda in the south, San Ignacio and Cayo District in the west, Belize City and Belmopan in the middle and coastal areas from Sarteneja to Dangriga, Hopkins, Placencia, Monkey River and Punta Negra. A bonus: This guide also has chapters on easy side trips to visit Tikal and Flores in Guatemala and Chetumal in Mexico. Enjoy Belize! Thank you for reading this guide.

Download or read book How to Cook a Tapir written by Joan Fry and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962 Joan Fry was a college sophomore recently married to a dashing anthropologist. Naively consenting to a year-long ?working honeymoon? in British Honduras (now Belize), she soon found herself living in a remote Kekchi village deep in the rainforest. Because Fry had no cooking or housekeeping experience, the romance of living in a hut and learning to cook on a makeshift stove quickly faded. Guided by the village women and their children, this twenty-year-old American who had never made more than instant coffee came eventually to love the people and the food that at first had seemed so foreign. While her husband conducted his clinical study of the native population, Fry entered their world through friendships forged over an open fire. Coming of age in the jungle among the Kekchi and Mopan Maya, Fry learned to teach, to barter and negotiate, to hold her ground,øand to share her space?and, perhaps most important, she learned to cook. This is the funny, heartfelt, and provocative story of how Fry painstakingly baked and boiled her way up the food chain, from instant oatmeal and flour tortillas to bush-green soup, agouti (a big rodent), gibnut (a bigger rodent), and, finally, something even the locals wouldn?t tackle: a ?mountain cow,? or tapir. Fry?s efforts to win over her neighbors and hair-pulling students offers a rare and insightful picture of the Kekchi Maya of Belize, even as this unique culture was disappearing before her eyes.ø

Download or read book The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw written by Bruce Barcott and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The first time we came here I didn’t know what to expect,” she told me as we paddled upstream. “What we found just blew me away. Jaguars, pumas, river otters, howler monkeys. The place was like a Noah’s Ark for all the endangered species driven out of the rest of Central America. There was so much life! That expedition was when I first saw the macaws.” As a young woman, Sharon Matola lived many lives. She was a mushroom expert, an Air Force survival specialist, and an Iowa housewife. She hopped freight trains for fun and starred as a tiger tamer in a traveling Mexican circus. Finally she found her one true calling: caring for orphaned animals at her own zoo in the Central American country of Belize. Beloved as “the Zoo Lady” in her adopted land, Matola became one of Central America’s greatest wildlife defenders. And when powerful outside forces conspired with the local government to build a dam that would flood the nesting ground of the last scarlet macaws in Belize, Sharon Matola was drawn into the fight of her life. In The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw, award-winning author Bruce Barcott chronicles Sharon Matola’s inspiring crusade to stop a multinational corporation in its tracks. Ferocious in her passion, she and her confederates–a ragtag army of courageous locals and eccentric expatriates–endure slander and reprisals and take the fight to the courtroom and the boardroom, from local village streets to protests around the world. As the dramatic story unfolds, Barcott addresses the realities of economic survival in Third World countries, explores the tension between environmental conservation and human development, and puts a human face on the battle over globalization. In this marvelous and spirited book, Barcott shows us how one unwavering woman risked her life to save the most beautiful bird in the world. "Barcott’s compelling narrative is suspenseful right up to the last moment." –Publisher's Weekly "An engrossing but sad account of a brave and quirky champion of nature."–Kirkus “…A riveting account of one woman’s fight to save one of the last bastions of an endangered Species. . . Barcott writes of international politics, ecology and endangered species, and human relations with equal facility. This real page-turner of narrative nonfiction is hard to put down.” –Booklist
