Belize, which is located on the eastern coast of Central America, has a Caribbean Sea shoreline s to the east and dense jungle to the west. 

Offshore, the Belize Barrier Reef, dotted with low-lying islands called cayes, hosts rich marine life.

Belize’s jungle areas are home to Mayan ruins like Caracol, with its towering pyramid; lagoon-side Lamanai and Altun Ha, just outside Belize City. 

The country positions itself as the bridge between Central America, Latin America and the Caribbean. English and Spanish are widely spoken. 

Belize offers the traveller a range of natural resources such as the Belize Barrier Reef, the 450 cays, excellent fishing and safe waters for water-based activities. 

Inland there are rivers for rafting and kayaking, jungles and wildlife reserves, and the historical Maya sites.
