The vast rivers estuaries Lagoons and flats that stretch out along the Belize coast invite endless fly fishing opportunities for permit bonefish tarpon snook and jacks of all kinds.
The color of the rain forest is so inviting, as you enter a river around each turn there is a new sight.
Birds of all kinds, howler monkeys calling in the distance, iguanas hanging in the trees, butterflies of all colors fly above, orchards and bromeliads of all kinds clinging to the trees.
The flats are lined with mangroves and covered with blue and green water of all hues.
Staying at Copal Tree Lodge high atop a hill, nestled in the south near the rustic but charming town of Punta Gorda is a delight.
