Adventure Guide to Belize (Adventure Guide Series)

Summary: "Adventure" Guide for Tourists
Review: Before my first trip to Belize, I bought several travel guides. The title of this book suggested an orientation toward the more active, adventurous traveler. From the way the author wrote, I don't think that she could have kept up with my 8-year-old.

She seemed to value places that were quiet and comfortable. She seemed a bit intimidated or uninformed about some of the more active jungle type adventures.

Belize is a great country to visit, both for the adventurous and for those who like to lie around on the beach. However, I bought this book expecting information about the more challenging types of vacation. Next time you write an "adventure" guide, send someone who likes to crawl through narrow cave entraces, hike through the jungle at night, and get wet and muddy.

Review: Belize holds three of the four coral atolls in the Caribbean, hosts the world's only jaguar reserve, and has the highest waterfall in Central America. The author's updated Adventure Guide To Belize is a tour guide helping the adventure-oriented traveler take advantage of these rare visions as she tells how to make the most of Belize, from locating a local tour to visiting backroads and less traveled areas of the country. A 'must' for any destination traveler who wants to experience the outdoors of the country.

Summary: Not the same book!
Review: We used Explore Belize, which was the guide written by Harry S. Pariser, when we last went to Belize. It was a new edition o Adventure Guide to Belize. It was a big improvement in style. Unfortunately, this guide is a step back. It's clunky, with poorly-drawn maps, and so so background information. We really feel deceived that this is being called a "new edition." !
