About Belize

Once part of the British Empire, Belize is now proudly independent. Despite being the smallest country in Central America it has a delightful mix of natural and historic attractions as well as a distinctly different culture.

A region of rich and varied terrain, here you will find mountains, waterfalls, rainforests and a myriad of rivers and caves. The coast beholds some magnificent beaches and out to sea sits a large coral reef stretching from Mexico to Honduras, which surrounds the most popular attraction here - the off shore Cayes.

In Belize City balconied clapboard houses and colonial architecture combine with a distinctive Creole culture to display its Anglo-Caribbean origins. One of the most popular attractions here is Latin America’s oldest Anglican cathedral – St. Johns. Nearby at the ruins of Altan Ha, you can admire the tombs and temples of ancient Mayan civilizations.
