Belize is a peaceful, democratic, English speaking nation about the size of Massachusetts with a population of slightly over 250,000 people. Belize was formerly the British Colony of British Honduras. Belize is serviced by American Airlines, Continental, US-Air, Delta and Taca; flight time from Miami is 90 minutes and about 120 minutes from Houston.
Playful primates, 575 species of birds, elegant, elusive felines and colorful frogs. Wildlife in Belize is protected, abundant and accessible. Calm rivers to paddle, lazy swimming holes, hidden waterfalls and wild rapids. You are never far from adventure in Belize.
Belize’s coral reef and pristine waters are the perfect setting for your favorite watersports. At 185 miles in length and dotted with around 200 cayes, the Belize Barrier Reef is the second largest, after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Belize offers world-class diving, snorkeling and fishing. Relax and watch waves of the azure Caribbean, soothing tropical concoction in hand, palms whistling gently.
The mighty Maya, spreading across Belize and neighboring Central America, were at their time the most advanced and sophisticated civilization in the New World. A visit to the ancient ruins takes you on a fascinating journey across the centuries when the Maya Civilization saw both splendor and decline: Caracol, Lamanai, Xunantunich, or Tikal in neighboring Guatemala, never fail to inspire awe and fill us with admiration.
