A British colony until 1973, Belize is a peaceful nation and the only English-speaking country in Central America. Belize borders the Caribbean Sea, Mexico and Guatemala and offers a wealth of natural treasures, from diverse rainforests to Mayan ruins to some of the world’s most pristine scuba diving sites; Belize’s barrier reef is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visit popular Mayan archaeology sites including Caracol and Pacbitun in the western-central Cayo District. For outdoor adventures, the southern Toledo District features the port city of Punta Gorda, and endless rivers, lagoons, caves and cays to explore. Drive along the Hummingbird Highway in the Stann Creek District, which provides access to the Maya Mountains, remote sections of the barrier reef and Dangriga, the historic home of Belize’s Garifuna people.
