The Belize Tourism Board must be doing something right. For the second time this year, Belize has been featured in The New York Times’ travel section. The New York Time is widely considered to be one of the leading News Papers in the world, so this is no small feat for Belize. Earlier this year Belize was a hailed as a Bird Watcher’s paradise in Stephen Regnenold’s article “Pursuing Belize’s Feathered Treasure”.

This time, Stephen Regenold in his article “The Caves of Cayo: An Inside Look at Belize” describes the caves of the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve. He calls them the “Maya Underworld” and says that they offers access to spectacular archaeology normally limited to experts. Inside the caves are mineralized human remains from the human sacrifices that once were performed there. These caves were where Maya priest would connect to the afterlife.

Belize News Post is officially a fan of Mr. Regenold and can’t wait to see where he travels next. For a list of his articles click here.
