Visit San Antonio Village Toledo District has over 50 villages in the surrounding countryside and more than 30 are Maya communities. Some villages are mainly Mopan, some mainly Kekchi and some are mixed, and most still maintain the institution of an Alcalde who oversees community life. San Antonio is the largest Mopan Maya village in the area and it is one of a group of villages offering home stays for tourists. Each village will have something different to offer in the way of traditional activities–maybe even chocolate making, however, wherever you stay, you will get a traditionally warm welcome. Get Married or Honeymoon in Belize Belize is the perfect honeymoon destination, and is becoming increasingly popular for weddings as well. Some people choose to exchange vows on the steps of an ancient Maya temple, while others choose a jungle lodge or beach setting. Honeymoon locations can be just as varied whether you want to share outdoor adventures or enjoy the quiet seclusion offered by some of the top- end resorts, for example on the north island of Ambergris Caye. Cruise ship passengers usually only have one day in Belize, but as long as they meet all the legal requirements, they can use that day to get married! Couples can enjoy Belize too If you are looking for that unique destination to share with that special person, Belize can offer something for all tastes. You might want the seclusion, peace and quiet offered by a jungle lodge or a beach resort, or you might want to share some adventurous experiences such as caving or zip-lining. If relaxing together at a spa in tropical surroundings is what you want, Belize has some of the best in the region. e z i l e B
