Belize is secluded in the Yucatan Peninsula of Central America and offers some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in the Caribbean. This includes: spectacular waterfalls, dense virgin jungles, world’s second-largest barrier reef, stunning wildlife, magnificent Mayan archaeological sites, and alluring Mayan mountains rising to over 1,100 meters. Along with this, Belize has an easy-going, friendly and noticeably uncrowned character. It’s no wonder Belize is now regarded as “The Jewel of the Caribbean”.

Belize has evolved into a world-renowned ecotourism & adventure destination. Some of these might include:
sailing through palm-studded island chains along the barrier reef while sightseeing the largest cave system in the Americas, dive on three of the only four coral atolls in the entire Caribbean, or simply relaxing in a hammock beneath a coconut tree. Belize offers it all and more! Jacques Cousteau marveled at Belize’s amazing Blue Hole dive site, which is renowned by divers around the world. Thanks to the government’s environmental preservation policies, more than 46 percent of the land is legally set aside and over 50 percent of the original forest remains intact. A remarkable feat!

Belize is home to abundant coral ecosystems, sea turtles, dolphins, world class game fish, manatees, 566 bird species, magnificent whale sharks, jaguars and stunning tropical flowers. Belize spells Adventure!
