Reasons to visit Belize

* This paradise of unspoiled nature is not yet discovered by mass tourism, not overcrowded by visitors. It’s authentic and unapologetically real. About 2/3 of Belize’s forests are still intact! Significant part of the country is protected by law –s included in national parks, nature reserves and conservation trust.

* Belize is the heartland of the ancient Mayan civilization. Here are more than 900 Mayan sites, but the biggest and most important are available for public. That's where you can encounter Mystery! You surely have to visit at least 1 or 2 of the great ruin complexes in Belize – Caracol, Xunantunich, Lamanai or Altun Ha. Come and feel live history!

* Belize is one of the best places for scuba diving and snorkeling! The biggest Barrier Reef in Western Hemisphere, which is 185 mi (300 km) long, lies just along Belizean coast. More than 400 species of fish live here. Belize has more than 200 cayes (islands), most of them located inside the Reef, many have great beaches.

* Here are many opportunities for other adventures and active tourism – Cave Tubing, Zip-Lining, Horseback riding, ATV, Bicycle rides and exploring of magnificent cave systems.


* Belize is honored to be called “Mother Nature’s Best Kept Secret”; it is heaven for nature lovers! Belize is an ideal setting for bird watching: over 580 species of birds have been spotted here. The tropical rain forests, savannahs, cayes (islands), wetlands, and coastal plains – that’s where they live. You can encounter wild animals in the forests. Belize houses the only Jaguar preserve in the world (commonly known as the Jaguar Reserve or Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary).

* Belize is English-speaking country (the only one to the south of USA), that makes easier to access all information about ‘the Jewel’ and find your way to what you want to experience here.

* Here are only 330,000 inhabitants – and that’s it. This tiny population is a part of what makes the country so easy to travel and come to know and love; there is plenty of room, and nothing is changing too terribly fast. The people are as diverse as the eco-systems with a mix of Creole, Garifuna, Mestisos and Mayans.

* You can find here exclusive accommodation; you can feel the one with nature staying in a luxurious jungle resort, the one like Black Orchid Resort in Burrell Boom.
