Belize

Overview

A holiday to Belize is unique. English speaking, you’ll find a cocktail of Creole, British colonial, indigenous Mayan, Mennonite and Spanish cultures. It is a tiny country on the coast of Central America - a little larger than Wales – and this makes it very easy to sample its natural and cultural attractions in a short space of time. The coast is unmistakably Caribbean: silky white sand beaches and coral atolls, swaying palm trees, turquoise seas, laidback people, pulsating reggae rhythms and rum punch.

Belize has the world’s second largest barrier reef and the undersea world here is a theatre of exotic fish and a plethora of other marine species living among the coral. Behind the coast in the backcountry, there are forested highlands, such as the beautiful Mountain Pine Ridge and verdant jungle around Chaa Creek. Exploring rivers, mysterious caves and riding trails are a must when on holiday to Belize. Wildlife is ebullient throughout the country, with hundreds of species of bird and even watchful jaguars inhabiting the woodland. Belize also has numerous fascinating Mayan archaeological sites such as Xunantunich and Lamanai, formerly concealed in dense jungle.
