| beautiful, palm-clad sand island |
|
A group of wooden huts on the beach, between palm trees and hibiscus flowers, the sea breeze cooling the color of the tropics, in front, a small beach, two children playing in the shade of a palm tree, a wooden pontoon as imbarcadero... It is not clean water or water-navy blue water: the bottom is covered by thick algae, so the sea is jade green as the jade of this Mayan lands. But in front, beyond the line of white foam of the coral breakers, a clear dense turquoise color shines. The pelicans and frigates plan without moving their wings, cormorants glide close to shore edge. A white egret advance cautiously with their long, thin legs capturing small fishes. So the days go on Caye Caulker this small sand Caye off the coast of Belize.

Although in Caye Caulker, and in general in the north, most people are mestizo and Catholic, and speak Spanish, But Belize is the only Central American country which has English as the official language, a rarity, a quirk of history due to a shipwreck of English pirates in 1638 that made Belize different from other Mayan lands.
