    Belize Overview

    GroversIslandBelize_sunset2.jpg

    Belize is very old it was once a part of the Maya kingdom before being colonized by the Spanish and the British. Today, it offers visitors the very best combination of the Central American and Caribbean worlds. 

    Belize is on the Caribbean coast, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala and offers an intriguing mix of tropical forests rich with wildlife, majestic 3,675 foot mountains, mysterious Maya temples, and diving and fishing experiences beyond compare. In a single day you can go from tropical forest to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. 

    On the east coast of the Yucatan peninsula, it’s a holiday destination whose tropical treasures have yet to be discovered by mass tourism. Whether you’re searching for the sun, nature, adventure or history – or all four – you’ll find them in Belize.

    The world’s second-longest reef (the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia is the largest), its breakwater effect provides superb diving, ensures calm, clear waters for sailors and snorkelers and protects the country’s vast, unspoiled beaches for swimmers and sun worshippers. 

    Ambergis Cay, the largest of Belize’s many offshore resort islands, is 25 miles long and less than a mile wide (40km by 2km). It has 40 diving sites, including wrecks and coral. In Shark-Ray Alley, you’ll see sharks and stingrays in less than eight feet of water.

    For the outdoor enthusiast and adventure traveler, Belize presents unlimited opportunities. You might say that Belize is the outdoors. You may not find a lot of big nightclubs, expensive shopping, or fancy restaurants. You will find diving, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, birdwatching and exploring nature at its best. 

    The least expensive way to get around Belize on a day to day basis is by bus. Buses run regular schedules and by other Central American standards, Belizean buses are clean, roomy and efficient. No reservations are required though often recommended as some bus routes fill up quickly and completely.  Otherwise, you can rent a car or take taxi.

    Presently, you'll find that Belize has a travel infrastructure that's improving but still far from polished: Some areas are difficult and/or expensive to get to, and conventional resort amenities such as golf courses and tennis courts are few and far between. We find these to be rather minor drawbacks, however. A bit of rawness just seems fitting for a place that caters to adventurous travelers. This being said, accommodations in Belize range from luxury 5-star condominiums to 1 room guesthouses.
