When the R&B group TLC introduced the world to the hit song “Waterfalls” in 1994, it’s doubtful that the group could have imagined how long these lyrics and melody would remain popular. In fact, this recording has been around for 30 years. But rather than a soothing message in keeping with the idea of these dramatic natural wonders, the Grammy-nominated tune warns people not to pursue unrealistic dreams.
Does this message seem incompatible to you? After all, there are very few negatives associated with waterfalls, says Johnny Cheng, whose website World of Waterfalls reflects his fascination with them. “Waterfalls put us in a meditative state,” he says, due to “the rhythmic, low-frequency roar that soothes the brain, while the crashing water releases negative ions into the air, boosting serotonin and reducing stress.”
How would you like to visit one during your next Caribbean vacation?
If you long to experience the hypnotic attraction associated with the breathtaking majesty of falling water, visit Belize where approximately 60% to 62% of the nation is covered in natural forests, jungles, and wetlands hosting at least 15 major named waterfalls. Choose Belizean Dreams Resort as your vacation haven and you’ll not only enjoy an idyllic environment in which to unwind and relax, but one of this resort’s most popular tours happens to be the Mayflower Waterfall Hiking Tour.
Embrace the challenge of hiking to the 1000-foot-tall Antelope Falls located within Mayflower Bocawina National Park, just 15 miles from Belizean Dreams. Make this compelling tour part of either of the resort’s two all inclusive packages available to resort guests, and not only will you relax during your stay but there’s no extra charge for chasing your own waterfalls during your stay!
Come for the waterfall. Stay for the amenities
“Man does not live by bread alone” said Moses in Deuteronomy (later echoed by Jesus), thus your visit to Belizean Dreams shouldn’t be driven by this waterfall visit entirely. Fun amenities await Belizean Dreams guests—including the infinity pool, beachfront Tiki Bar, al fresco Woven Palms Restaurant, onsite spa, guest-exclusive kayaks, and Eden-like gardens.
Access to the nearby village of Hopkins satisfies everyone’s craving for shopping and cultural immersion and it won’t take long to figure out why Hopkins was named the friendliest village in Belize. The perks keep coming. Why not save money during your getaway? There are multiple opportunities to do so, one of which will appeal to you.
It takes very little time in Belize to realize that waterfalls were maligned when this song was written. In fact, your opportunity to witness Antelope Falls is likely to be so profound, you'll feel nothing but awed when you take this tour. Does that mean you can’t appreciate the song “Waterfalls”? Of course not. It’s a great tune to play on your device as you hike the trail that takes you to this one-of-kind experience!
