Belize

I am planning a trip to Belize and this book is exactly what I will need as I want to visit many of the Mayan ruins, small villages, culture of this paradise and the beaches. I do plan to look into Playa del Carmen as well then on to Guatamala where some of the more ancient mayan ruins are.

A Remarkable Book

Once again, Dick Lutz has written a fascinating book to add to his list of travel books. He spares no detail, and writes with his usual clarity and insight. Should be on every adventurer's bookshelf, and should also be given as a gift to friends.

A description of its government, people, problems, and environmental beauty

Nicely illustrated throughout, Belize: Reefs, Rain Forests, And Mayan Ruins begins with an account of a tour of Belize, and then continues with a thoroughly "reader friendly" history of Belize, including a description of its government, people, problems, and environmental beauty. Author Dick Lutz is a gifted travel writer who showcases the many features and attractions of this remarkable Central American country. Chapters cover Belize's rain forests, the history of the Mayans, the history of local tourism, the history of Belize itself, and the conditions of Belize today. An index allows for quick and easy lookup of specific topics. Belize: Reefs, Rain Forests And Mayan Ruins is an excellent resource for bringing the lay reader up to date quickly on the people, forces, and events that have shaped Belize up to the present day, recommended for armchair travelers, amateur historians, and would-be tourists looking to better understand their travel destination.
