Simply Beautiful
Untouched palm-fringed beaches, a crystal-clear ocean brimming with extraordinary sea life, and lush jungles hiding the secrets of an ancient Mayan civilization — it’s no wonder that Belize is considered to be one of the most beautiful and enigmatic countries in the world.
Belize may be a small country, but it is blessed by an incredibly diverse landscape, including hundreds of offshore islands that spread out across the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Long a British colony, Belize has been independent since 1981, a stable and prosperous democracy with an eclectic mix of different cultures that each contribute to the cuisine, music, and laid-back Caribbean lifestyle that draws in so many visitors each year.
