"New River Lagoon, more than 25 miles long, runs through the heart of the northern province of Orange Walk, one of Belize 's most untouched and green landscapes. Several companies offer safaris, duringwhich you can observe the wilderness from the comfort of a speedboat, gliding along the mangrove-lined banks. This district ishome to Morelet's crocodiles, river turtles, howler monkeys, and numerous bird species—including the Jesus Christ bird, or jacana, which appears to walkon water.The boat ride ends at Lamanai archaeological site, for more hiking and wildlife-spotting on shore."
