Beautifully Belize

Beach roulette with chickens. Yes, you read that right. Every Wednesday evening in San Pedro for the last 20 years has been ‘Chicken Drop’ night. A giant, 100-square bingo card in laid out on the beach and a wire mesh suspended on top. An inexplicably enthusiastic crowd each bet a dollar on a square and a chicken is set loose upon the ‘board’. The pot goes to the one who has selected the square upon which the chicken eventually chooses to ‘drop’, and the lucky winner also gets to clean the board for the next round.

Don't go home without

A bottle of Marie Sharp’s habanero sauce – widely available in Belize, this potent concoction will give your food a Belizean zing for months after your return.
