We love Belize, and so should you!  It’s one of the most exciting, fascinating and diverse countries in the Americas and it’s only a 2 hour flight from the US!

It’s an adventure traveler’s paradise with countless activities, from exploring Mayan ruins hidden in the jungle to snorkeling and diving on the second largest barrier reef in the world, to sampling delicious local cuisine, or just relaxing to the local vibe and meeting the country’s friendly locals.

Here are some reasons why we love Belize so much…

 

1. Amazing Underwater Experiences

With the second longest barrier reef in the world (after Australia’s), at 185 miles long, Belize offers plenty of amazing underwater experiences for snorkelers and scuba divers alike.  Nowhere in Belize is more than 90 miles away from the Caribbean Sea, so you never have to travel far to enjoy the reef.
