Experience Belize

Belizean culture is a cultural melting pot of Hispanic, African and West Indian to form its own unique traditions and customs. Belize is the ideal destination popular for snorkelers, divers, nature lovers, and archaeology enthusiasts thanks to its beautiful coral reefs, virgin jungle and some 200 small caves which line the coastline. Belize’s jungle holds the world’s largest Jaguar preserve along with over 500 species who inhabit it. For explorers, there are over 600 known sites of ancient civilisations, many of which are accessible.
