(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, November 23, 2012 ) Philadelphia, PA -- Although the year 2012 is quickly coming to its end, as 2013 begins, so does peak wedding planning season. From the wedding band to the honeymoon destination, each and every wedding detail can have its own flair. Yet in trying economic times, not every bride and groom-to-be can afford to be extravagant with all wedding elements, although many may still strive for a memorable honeymoon that also fits within a tight budget. Should you be in the market for an affordable yet exotic honeymoon location, then consider Belize.
Why Choose belize for a Honeymoon? Just a two hour flight from Miami, Florida, Belize is becoming an increasingly popular place for newlyweds to take epic walks on scenic beaches, enjoy world-class diving or snorkeling, and of course visit the area’s famous Mayan ruins. Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is among the few remaining places left untainted by excess technology and population.
"There is no place on this planet like Belize," according to Lara Goldman (a Philadelphia-native who moved to San Pedro, Belize over six years ago), a destination management consultant, and owner and founder of Romantic Travel Belize.
"As the home of the Western Hemisphere's largest barrier reef and majestic mountains dotted with Maya sites, the English speaking country of Belize is uniquely positioned to become the authentic culturally rich destination wedding location for those looking to celebrate their love and good fortune in a truly epic way. This romantic and tropical destination event is a once in a lifetime experience in paradise “explains Goldman.
Other activities honeymooners can enjoy in Belize can include (but not be limited to):
• A visit to The Belize Zoo, which houses over 125 of the country’s native animals. Since many of the local animals are nocturnal, this may be the only way for visitors to see the animals of the land. The zoo features animals which were abandoned, rescued from harm, born on site, injured and required rehabilitation, or simply transferred from other zoological institutions from around the world.
• A day at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where water-lovers can swim within coral reefs, snorkel with sharks and sting rays, and have a total experience at Belize's first marine park. Due to its protected status, local fish populations have been able to grow throughout the years. Large schools of jacks, groupers, snappers and barracuda abound in waters as shallow as five feet. For underwater photographers, this makes for some great marine life photo opportunities.
• A journey within the Jaguar Preserve, which has some of the best jungle hiking trails in Belize. Along the trails, local plants are identified and animals can be often seen. However, jaguars are rarely spotted in the most visited areas, although as the name suggests – they live within the jungle.
• A boating excursion to Shark and Ray Alley may be in order for those that wish to add a little more excitement to their adventure list. Boaters can see sharks and rays anticipating an approaching dive boat and actually begin to school while waiting for those on the vessel to cast fresh bait into the water.
