Belize
In Belize you can be “Jacques Cousteau in the morning, diving in the blue hole, and Indiana Jones in the afternoon, exploring a Maya Cave in the jungle”.
With its crystal clear water, sun-soaked islands, lush jungles, and warm culture, Belize is one of the Caribbeans most loved getaways. Warm breezes, an incredible reef system, and Mayan ruins existing in harmony with the wild jungle make this tiny country on the Caribbean coast of Central America enticing for travellers of all types.
Home to the Great Blue Hole, a natural wonder of the world, and 300km of Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, Belize is one of the most iconic places in the world to explore marine life. Divers and snorkelers journey to Belize to experience diving in its crystal clear waters with a world class, colourful living reef as the backdrop to the adventure. Complimenting its epic blue waters, the coast line of Belize is nothing short of paradisaical. Pristine, palm tree covered white sandy beaches line the countries coast, while hundreds of perfectly picturesque islands dot the crystal clear ocean's edge.
More than 50% of the interior of Belize is covered in subtropical jungle and rainforest. As a result this country is home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Howler monkeys, tapirs, and jaguars find their home amongst orchids, monsteras and giant palm trees. Mayan ruins are interwoven into the jungle, offering an amazing opportunity to freely explore. This might be the closest you will come to stepping into history.
Culturally, the people of Belize are warm and welcoming. The towns are colourful and the vibes are immaculate. While English is the national language, the spoken languages of Kriol and Garifuna are at the core of the community.
With paradisaical islands, world class oceanscapes, jungles, ruins, and history, Belize is a beautifully diverse country. Exalted by a warm and welcoming culture, it is an incredible place to embrace the Caribbean lifestyle. Belize is the type of destination that truly has something for everyone, so do yourself a favour and dedicate some time to exploring Belize.
