INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE BELIZEAN RAINFOREST
Here are some interesting facts specifically about the Belize Rainforest:

FACT #1 - The Belizean Rainforest is huge! More than half of mainland Belize is covered in rainforest.

FACT #2 - The Belize National Flower.  There are hundreds of different kinds of trees in the rainforest but also fragile, beautiful flowers like orchids. Did you know that the Black Orchid is the national flower of Belize, and it grows in the Belizean rainforest?

FACT #3 - Thousands of Caves.  The Belize rainforest is also where you’ll find thousands of caves.  Today you can rappel into some of these caves, explore them, see ancient pottery, ceremonial sites, and the remains of skeletons. 

FACT #4 - Biggest Waterfalls in Central America. The Belize rainforest is also where you will find some of the biggest waterfalls in all of Central America.  Thousand Foot Falls, being one of them in the Mayan Mountains.

FACT #5 - Mayan Ruins & Lost Cities. The Belize rainforest is also where you'll find many (yet to be discovered), lost cities of the Mayan people.  Belize has numerous Mayan sites, where you can see buildings of past civilizations.  The ancient Maya people built enormous pyramids, vast palaces, and strange carved stones called stelae right in the middle of the Belize rainforest. There are still many lost cities yet to be found in the Belizean rainforest.  Satellite images have revealed many of their locations, lost cities just waiting to be discovered. 

FACT #6 - Tours & Excursions.  Most of the tours & excursions offered in Belize, can be found in the Belizean rainforest.  These rainforest adventures, are what attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each year - to this tiny little country in Central America (that I call home).
