Belize

Favorably located on the Caribbean Sea, this spectacularly diverse Central American nation is characterized by lush forests, magnificent mangroves, a gloriously green mountainous interior, and a coastline dotted with innumerable islands. Populated by a wide range of ethnic groups including the Mayan, Mestizo, Garifuna, Creole, and Mennonite people, this relatively young country offers a captivating melting pot of cultures and traditions. The crystal-clear waters, decorated with a profusion of marine life, offer a jaw-dropping setting for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. In the jungle, enjoy hiking, horse-riding, or ziplining past exotic plants, animals, and birds. A world of historical treasure awaits in the fascinating Mayan ruins, which feature excavated tombs, intricate hieroglyphs, and towering stone temples, often providing panoramic views.
