If you’re in need of an affordable tropical getaway, the Belize resorts lining the Gulf of Mexico could be for you. Situated on the Gulf coast of Central America, this small country offers white-sand beaches, sparkling, turquoise waters, and all the fun your heart desires. Whether you simply want to relax on the beach or go on a jungle adventure, Belize has it all.
Ambergris Caye is home to many Belize resorts along the Caribbean coast. From here, you can snorkel the Belize Barrier Reef, which is second only to Australia’s Barrier Reef in size. Ambergris Caye is also the launch point for deep-sea fishing and other adventures.
The landscapes of Belize are stunningly beautiful. Belize has a total of eight marine nature reserves, as well as more than a dozen forest reserves, and half a dozen wildlife reserves. In fact, Belize has made eco-tourism an essential part of the country’s economy.
This tiny, Central American country is rich not only in natural resources but also culture. Your Belize resort can arrange a tour of the Mayan ruins, as well as visits to present-day Mayan villages. This English-speaking country is rich with diversity; the people of Belize include the Maya, Garinagu, the descendants of escaped African slaves, German-speaking Mennonites, and American ex-pats.
Belize is a hidden gem that attracts nearly one million tourists every year. But, despite those numbers, the country works hard to maintain the pristine beauty of its natural resources. From coral reefs to dense jungles, Belize has it all.
