Belize is a country at the northeast side of Central America on the Caribbean Sea. The small size of the country allows you to Travel from the coast across the country to the eastern border (Guatemala) in a mere two hours by local bus – even faster by private car. The highlights of Belize are the tiny islands off the coast, snorkeling/diving, and the cenotes in (or rather under) the jungle. Spur Experiences’s Belize experience is a canoe trip through the jungle that includes transportation. With the trip ending in San Ignacio you might want to negotiate a few hours to tour the fun town with a great culture and delicious dining scene.
Belize has some fantastic options for beaches, including the mainland as well as the islands. Some of the beaches border on rainforests.
Belize is the historical home of the Mayan people. Many of the Mayan ruins date back about 2,000 years. The most notable to visit is Caracol, which was a major center for the Mayans.
Belize has some great options for exploring the rainforest, ziplining, waterfall rappelling, and more. Many visitors like to split their vacation between exploring and relaxing.
Belize is a known destination for scuba divers. The biggest attraction is the Great Blue Hole. It is a 500-foot deep hole in the ocean, a few miles off the coast of Belize.
