There has never been a better time to discover Belize!
World-class scuba diving and fishing only begin the list of attractions. Archaeological, cultural and natural history tours, horseback riding, bird watching and relaxing are other diversions.
The Barrier Reef of Belize (the largest in the Western Hemisphere) is what first brought the divers and fishermen. The crystal-clear water is recognized world-wide as exceptional for scuba and snorkeling and remarkable for the abundance of reef, flats and bill fish.
Recently, tourists have discovered the adventures available on the mainland of Belize, a virtually unexplored land of Maya ruins, virgin rainforest, jungle and natural beauty. There are areas where Maya Indians are living as they have for centuries.
The extent and variety of Belize’s tropical flora and fauna is unparalleled. Over 60% of the country is covered by native
rainforest and jungle. Many species that are either rare or extinct elsewhere are safe and protected in Belize. More than 400 species of birds thrive in the forests, jungles and the coast and cayes.
Belize enjoys a stable parliamentary democracy and a pro-American attitude. Visitors are safe and welcome. It is seldom that one visits a place and comes away with a sense of well being, a sense that you belong. That special feeling is one that you will experience when you visit Belize!
A valid passport is required for travel to Belize.
