Belize's proximity to Guatemala and its hundreds of low islands called keys, are home to an abundant marine diversity and one of the main attractions for visitors.

Belize is one of the smallest countries on the continent, one of the least populated in the world and also one of the most unknown. Get to know everything that Belize has to offer for you on your next trip:

 


 

Amazing beaches

One of its most incredible features is that it has a long stretch of beach close to the Belize coral reef, the second longest in the world after the one located in Australia.

This translates to a wide variety of white sand beaches and a diversity of resorts for all types of travelers. This means that regardless of the reason you travel, there are various options to enjoy the sea and its activities.

 

Mayan History to explore

Originally this territory was occupied by the Mayan civilization that built dozens of ceremonial centers.
Some of the best known are: Caracol, the largest archaeological site in this country. Cahal Pech, which has its own museum. Lamanai translates as "submerged crocodile" and is an excellent place to see natural Belizean fauna.

 

 

Natural and ecological destinations

National parks represent an important support for the conservation of the wonderful landscapes in Belize. National parks protect forests, mountains, caves, rivers, and even Mayan ruins; and there are large areas of vegatation and fauna that exist within these protected places that are important to the country.

Among the popular places to visit we recommend the Pine Ridge Mountain Forest Reserve, Blue Hole National Park and Hol Chan.

 

Caribbean Gastronomy

In Belize there is a mix between British, American, Mexican and Caribbean cuisine. This wide diversity of flavors uses ingredients such as various types of fish, shellfish, beef, pork, chicken, herbs such as coriander and a wide variety of spices.

In some cases the dishes are prepared with some spicy flavour. For tourists this is one of the favorite activities when visiting this country, trying different types of traditional dishes from this region.

 

Culture diversity

Belize is a country with a vast difference in cultures, none of which is dominant. You'll find a mix of Mayan, Garifuna, Mix descent, and a small number of Mennonites who are of German descent with a mix of many other cultures, from Chinese to Lebanese, this creates an interesting range of experiences for visitors and travelers.
