Only few destinations allow the visitor to explore lush tropical rainforest, to discover hidden Mayan ruins and to dive in the pristine waters and coral reefs of the second largest barrier reef in the world. Belize is such a destination.

Belize, former British Honduras, borders Mexico in the north and Guatemala in the west and south. With its tiny population of around 300.000, less than 5% of the land is inhabited.

The culture of Belize is a unique fusion of Creoles (descendants of African slaves), Mestizos, Mayans, East Indians and Europeans.
