About Placencia Peninsula

The peninsula of Placencia used to be virtually untravelled and virtually unknown, with very few amenities for travellers. Even today, it has only one paved road and maintains a small fishing village ambiance. Another advantage of Placencia (as opposed to the islands in Belize) is that it is connected to the mainland of Belize, so you can drive to additional and varied activities this relatively small peninsula does not offer, for example, mountains and ruins.
