More Belize Facts…
  • The symbol for Belikin beer is the Mayan Ruins.
  • Belikin is 60% of Belize’s alcohol consumption.
  • Belize natives average 4 Belikin’s every day.
  • While there are 500,000 bottles manufactured in Belize every year, it is difficult to find Belikin’s outside of Belize.  Only 1,000 cases are exported a month and they are all exported to Los Angeles, CA.
  • Ceviche originated in Peru.
  • Lighthouse Lager is the second most popular beer in Belize.
  • There are over 800 species of Tarantulas.  A female tarantula has 4 arms on each side and a male tarantula has 5 arms on each side.  The reason for the additional legs is for the male spider to grab the female spider in order to mate.  After mating the male tarantula must quickly escape before the female eats him.
  • Cashew wine is a local wine in Belize that has a sweet finish.
