Belize is a traveler's dream: ribbon-waterfalls tumble through tropical rainforests abundant in wildlife, birds abound in coastal wetlands and pristine beaches open out to cayes and coral reefs.

Just 174 miles from north to south, this tiny country offers an astounding variety of natural landscapes, and cultural sites and sounds. The 184-mile barrier reef attracts a stunning array of sea life, and is a major draw for diving, snorkelling and sport fishing.

Land lovers can paddle, trek, hike, and bike up inland rivers and through lush rainforest, stopping to explore Mayan ruins and underground caves along the way. Must-sees include Tikal (across the border in Guatemala), Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, Bermudian Landing, Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, Caracol, and Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, but this is by no means an exhaustive list.
Rich in natural and cultural wonders, Belize beckons travelers from around the world and a variety of tours are on offer, from wildlife expeditions to adventure tours.
