Cayos Gladden Spit & Silk
El atractivo principal de la Reserva Marina Cayos Gladden Spit & Silk es la oportunidad de nadar con los tiburones ballena, quienes pasan los meses de marzo hasta junio migrando a través de las áreas de alimentación de la reserva. Atacando principalmente el plancton y los peces pequeños, estos gigantes gentiles pueden alcanzar longitudes de hasta 40 pies (12 m) y son los peces más grandes del planeta.
More about Cayos Gladden Spit & Silk
Catalogados como vulnerables a la extinción, bucear o realizar esnórquel con los tiburones ballena es considerado por muchos como una experiencia única en la vida. La mejor oportunidad para encontrarse con un tiburón ballena es cerca de la luna llena, cuando miles de peces meros y pargos se congregan allí para desovar. Además de los tiburones ballena, esta reserva también sirve como zona de alimentación para la inusual tortuga boba.
La Reserva Marina Cayos Gladden Spit & Silk se encuentra a 26 millas (42 km) de la costa de Placencia. Los tours para buceo, esnórquel y visitas a islas se pueden reservar en la costa, y el trayecto en barco dura aproximadamente 1.5 horas desde Placencia.
Moments to look forward to
Love the options— the hotels were spectacular. I enjoyed having a non-event day to hang out at pool and wall into town to see local events. Drivers were coordinated well, and they served well as tour guides. This country is beautiful, the people are so kind and generous.
Belize was delightful we thoroughly enjoyed all the people that we met from drivers to tour guides to Hotel staff and just people we encountered along the way. Spending time both up in the jungle in the mountains and down on the coast was a wonderful contrast and I highly recommend doing both if possible. The weather was variable but over the time of our holiday we had opportunity to do all the things that we wanted, enjoy some tropical rain as well as some beautiful beach days The wildlife, history and scenery were spectacular. Both the lodge we stayed in and the hotel on the coast were well maintained with excellent, knowlegeable staff and good food My biggest negative would probably be that in being a less wealthy Nation their management of garbage and limited recycling capacity was quite noticeable in places.
