BELIZE

BELIZE: A Caribbean tropical paradise.

Actually, few other countries offer such a rich diversity of ecosystems packed into a relatively small area (most of it undeveloped).

On the coast, there is a swampy coastal plain with mangrove swamps and in the south and interior, hills and low mountains, and it is the holder of the largest cave system in Central America and of the second largest barrier reef in the world (shared with Honduras) after Australia.

Around here you are going to hear familiar words of the English language, because it’s the country’s official language (being the only English language-speaking country in Central America), however; a relaxed Kriol is the language that the locals speak.

There is no end to the fun and adventure here.

Next, a list (regardless its order) of its trendiest and hotspots destinations for you to plan your best vacation holiday travel package in Belize.
