For those looking for history, culture, wildlife, adventure and a little bit of downtime, Belize ticks all the boxes. Sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala, this small Central American country has so much to offer and with English as the official language, it makes for a remarkably relaxing trip.
With a population of less than 400,000, the country has a laid-back, easy-going feel and even its most popular sights are usually refreshingly quiet. Once the stronghold of the ancient Maya civilisation, Belize is home to several impressive archaeological sites that instantly transport you back thousands of years. Stone temples elaborately carved with ornate hieroglyphs stand proud in the forest, while underground sites such as the Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre) near the Cayo District, are home to skeletons, ceramics and stoneware.
Belize is also home to the largest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere allowing some excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities around the colourful reefs in the warm Caribbean waters near Ambergris Caye. Look out for hawksbill, loggerhead and green turtles. In turn, the misty mountains and dense jungle are perfect for hiking and ziplining and there are waterfalls to explore, rivers to tube along and wonderful cave networks to discover. Turn your attention skywards and you’ll be treated to an array of vibrant avian life, from toucans in the rainforest canopy to frigate birds along the coast. The wildlife in Belize in general is memorable, so keep an eye out for howler monkeys, jaguars, sharks, rays and sea turtles.

The wildlife and birdlife are abundant, being home to both the Jaguar and the World’s second largest barrier reef. From visiting ancient archaeological sites to kayaking on rivers surrounded by thick rainforests, and diving amongst coral reefs to soaking up the sun on Caribbean beaches: Belize makes for both an easy and unusual trip.
