Présentation de l'éditeur
"With one foot planted in the Central American jungles and
the other dipped in the Caribbean Sea, Belize is home to the
second-longest barrier reef in the world, jungles that teem with
wildlife, and mysterious Maya ruins".
Biographie de l'auteur
Mara Vorhees first visited Belize as a student of international
development, when she traveled the country on a backpacker's
budget, researching the outcomes of US-sponsored foreign aid
projects. She fell in love with the reef, the rasta guys, and the
rice and beans (although she was not so enamored of US
development policy). The pen-wielding traveler has since
taken to seeing and saving the world by other means. Besides
this book, she has worked on Costa Rica, and a slew of other
titles for Lonely Planet. Her articles and photographs of
Central America have appeared in the Boston Globe and the
Miami Herald, among other national newspapers.
