Belize, located between Mexico and Guatemala, offers a wide variety of landscapes, peoples, flora, and fauna. Its capital city is Belmopan. Other major cities include Belize City, Corozal, Orange Walk, San Ignacio & Santa Elena, Dangriga, Punta Gorda and San Pedro.
Visitors can admire unexplored streams and rivers, dense rain forest, savanna and sugarcane. Less than an hour's flight from the green heartland is the Barrier Reef, a great coral wall stretching all along the coast, a brilliant place for diving and snorkeling. The nature lovers will be delighted to enjoy the company of the rich diversity of colorful birds and animals that still survive there, and perhaps showing them to their children is another of this friendly, easygoing country's richest gifts.
You can also have a nice chat with occasional fishermen, who usually dive for conch and lobster and sleep under a sheet of canvas strung between trees. Ambergris Caye, among others, is becoming increasingly lively and offering a good number of attractive bars, restaurants, and small hotels.
Most of the resorts offer a charm and attention to the visitors' needs unmatched elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Ecotourism - getting travelers into nature without harming it - is very important in Belize, and though signs that increased traffic is causing minor degradation of the Barrier Reef have already been discovered, Belizeans are acutely aware of nature's fragility.
If you want to take a night dive through a tunnel of living coral, ride a horse through a jungle resounding with the call of howler monkeys, explore ancient Maya ruins, or canoe through the rain forest, the 'adventure coast'- as Belize is called- will not let you down.
Belizean people are mainly Roman Catholic and their official language is English. Belize has a dry and hot climate between January and April. The country's currency is the Belize Dollar.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Belize: US driving permits are accepted, the electricity runs on 110 Volts and the country code is 501.
