Overview
The unspoilt interior of Belize harbours some of Central America’s loveliest landscapes and a host of little-visited Mayan sites. In the north, wildlife sanctuaries rub shoulders with sugar cane fields, and recently uncovered Mayan cities poke their head above the canopy of dense jungle. The river banks from the Mennonite village of Shipyard are decorated with tangled bromeliads hanging from tropical trees. Nearby are the Mayan ruins of Lamanai with almost 700 structures.

Where to go when - our guide to Maya mountains and jungle
The weather in Maya mountains and jungle is wide and varied
The stunning unspoilt landscapes of Belize’s interior harbour a host of little-visited Mayan sites. In the north, wildlife sanctuaries are nestled amongst sugar cane fields, and recently discovered Mayan cities can be seen poking through the dense jungle canopy.
The seasons here are less pronounced due to the northeast trade winds but it can be refreshingly cool the higher you climb.
