Belize Flights & Travel Overview
Belize is a tiny, English-speaking country bordered by Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea. It's known for its laid-back atmosphere, which has more in common with the Caribbean islands off its coast than with its Central American neighbors.
Belize, despite being ideally suited for scuba diving and beach dwelling, is also a great destination for cultural adventures to the dramatic Mayan ruins looming in its pristine jungles, as well as mountain biking, horseback riding, spelunking, and whitewater rafting in the Maya Mountains and Belizean rainforests.
Off the coast is the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere. Belize's dive spots alone attract thousands of visitors, most of whom stay in the offshore cayes. For the archaeology buff, Belize boasts some very impressive Mayan sites: Lamanai and Xunantunich. Belize City is home to some impressive museums and historical sites. For the nature enthusiast, there are several beautiful parks and wildlife reserves near Belize City. If you can't make it to the cayes but want to spend some time on the beach or snorkeling, you may want to visit the southern town of Placencia.
Most traveler's start their adventures in Belize City, which is the country's only settlement of any size and thus its transport and commercial hub, before moving on to explore Belize's Mayan ruins and 290km long barrier reef, the longest reef in the western hemisphere.
