EASY! Belize is a small nation located in Central America south of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. 1hr. 45min from Miami or Houston will land you in this special country. Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America. The US dollar is accepted everywhere, and the country uses the same units of measurement as the USA (feet, miles, pounds, farenheit, etc.).
BEAUTIFUL! Belize is one of the most unique places on earth due to her extremely low population density (pop. 300,000). Her wealth of tropical rainforests, pine forests, rich farmlands, and barrier reef systems, which are dotted with hundreds of small islands (cayes) have been protected and her 3 spectacular atolls have been named world heritage sites.
The sea life and animals that populate the waters and forests of Belize still thrive in the pure protected environments needed to sustain rare species from Manatee to Jaguars.
Birds of every size and color make Belize their seasonal home as they travel their annual migratory routes.
CULTURALLY RICH! The Belizean people are drawn from multiple cultures from around the world. Descendants of the original Maya inhabit the interior along with Mestizo (a mixture of Mayan and Spanish settlers) and the Garifuna people (a blend of African slaves and Caribe Indians) can be found along the coast. The balance of the population is a true melting pot. As the center of the Mayan culture, there are over 400 ruins to visit and explore.
This singular country is graced with friendly people, spectacular mountains, virgin forests, crystal clear rivers, fertile farmland, coastal savannahs, and the second largest coral reef system in the world.
If you love nature, you will love Belize!
