Mayflower Bocawina National Park
Experience nature at its enchanting best in the heart of Belize
Belize, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, is a Central American country that captivates with its rich Mayan history and cultural diversity. Known for its lush rainforests and its spectacular barrier reef, the second largest in the world, Belize is a haven for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Its mixed culture reflects a vibrant blend of Garifuna, Creole, Maya, and Mennonite influences, offering a unique experience for every visitor.
Belize City, although no longer the capital, remains the country's economic hub and features historical sites such as the Swing Bridge and the Belize Museum. In San Ignacio, travel back in time by exploring the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and the mystical Actun Tunichil Muknal cave. The current capital, Belmopan, offers a more relaxed atmosphere with its botanical gardens and local markets. Finally, don't miss Placencia, famous for its pristine beaches and ocean excursions.
Belize is much more than beaches and Mayan ruins. Explore its vast universe of natural beauty, from the Hol Chan Marine Reserve to the preserved areas of the Cockscomb Forest. Each region of the country is rich in natural and cultural wonders waiting to be discovered.
