South America Travel Review: Belize, Guatamala, Chaa Creek, Ambergris Caye, Shark Ray Alley, ATM Cave, Hol Chan Marine Reserve

We stayed four nights in the jungle and four nights on the beach. The hotel we stayed at at Chaa Creek was in the jungle and it was wonderful. Everything from the accommodations to the service to the food was incredible. The Mayan ruins in Belize and Guatemala (very close) are a "must see". The "ATM" cave which is a sacred Mayan site where human sacrifices were performed was our favorite.

After the jungle we flew to Ambergris Caye on the coast. The second largest barrier reef in the world runs the length of the caye and can been seen from the beach. Our hotel was delightful. Our room was beautiful and the food was delicious. Hol Chan Marine Reserve has some of the best snorkeling I have ever experienced. We also went to Shark Ray Alley and swam with nurse sharks and stingrays.
