Where the Caribbean Meets the Jungle
Belize is one of those destinations that truly has it all: dreamlike beaches, vibrant culture, ancient history, and breathtaking nature. This small country holds immense richness—not just in biodiversity, but in identity. A fusion of Caribbean, Indigenous, African, and Latin roots can be felt in every corner.
Love the ocean? You’re in for some of the best aquatic experiences in the Americas. The Great Blue Hole, one of the world’s most iconic diving spots, is just the beginning. Explore the colorful reefs of Hol Chan Marine Reserve, swim alongside nurse sharks in Shark Ray Alley, or snorkel with corals and turtles around Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. The marine life is so rich, every dive feels like a live nature documentary.
Prefer jungles and history? Belize has you covered. Hidden in its lush landscapes are majestic Mayan ruins like Caracol, Lamanai, Altun Ha, and Xunantunich—some reached by boat, others by trekking trails, all rich with stories from ancient civilizations. You can also explore natural reserves like Mountain Pine Ridge Forest or Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, where jaguars, exotic birds, hidden waterfalls, and sacred caves like Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) offer one-of-a-kind adventures.
Belizean culture is a journey of its own. Hear reggae on the coast, marimba in Maya villages, or Garifuna drums in Dangriga. English is the official language, but you’ll also hear Spanish, Kriol, Maya, and Garifuna. This cultural blend shines in the local cuisine: from coconut rice and beans to tamales, ceviche, coconut bread, and freshly caught fish.
In Belize, no two days are the same: one day might be full of water adventures, the next exploring ancient ruins, and another simply relaxing under a palm tree.
