Belize Travel Guide

Eat, drink and be merry in Belize, a country southeast of Mexico that invites travelers to dive into fun and excitement in a vacation that is far from ordinary. Ambergris Caye, the “Gateway to Belize,” has all you could possibly desire in an adventure getaway with non-stop entertainment on this Caribbean island.

Once known as British Honduras, Belize is an English speaking nation with peaceful palm trees sprinkled across pristine, secluded beaches. From the sparkling Caribbean Sea to the lush Maya Mountains, travelers can enjoy endless adventures in gorgeous scenery. Trimming the entire shore of Belize is the second largest coral reef in the world. An earthly masterpiece of lagoons, coral atolls and rainbows of fish, the reef is a veritable paradise for diving and snorkeling.

Venturing into the heart of Belize, travelers will find cascading waterfalls, verdant tropical rainforests, colorful birds and wildlife (including several endangered species), countless caves and majestic Mayan ruins and temples.

Many visitors to Belize cruise over to the country’s largest island, Ambergris Caye (pronounced key) for a memorable escapade on the vivacious island’s surf and turf. San Pedro is the only town on the Caye and bicycles and golf carts are the transportation of choice for the laid-back islanders.

Visitors can spend their days snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, parasailing, hiking, cycling, cave tubing, zip lining and exploring both jungle and sea. As the sun sets into a sea of pastels; beachside bars, world class restaurants and dance clubs are only a few of the nightlife activities offered in this vibrant Caribbean getaway.
