In some areas rain forests were replaced by orange plantations. This is the main agricultural product in Belize. We've spent many nights camping in these plantations, eating fallen fruits. No one ever bothered us. The value of a piece of fruit is hardly measurable here.
Unsurprisingly these plantations look like rain forests themselves, orchids, fern, moss cover the orange trees. In some places we've seen giant oranges, fruits as big as a human head. We've never imagined oranges can grow this big. And the one you see on this photo isn't the biggest one, but our cellular was depleted and we didn't feel like carrying the extra weight 'til the next stop.
