Belize has Mexico and Guatemala on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other… and thus, it would be near impossible for it not to be filled with culture and beauty. Typically when you hear about Belize, the first thing that comes to mind is scuba diving. In fact, its been called one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World, and with good reason. Home to one of the world’s largest barrier reefs, the area is filled with amazing sea life. One of the more popular areas is the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Whether you snorkel or dive, make sure you discover the fascinating life that thrives under the sea.
This area also has many amazing Maya temples, some that you can tour on your own and some that you need to book well in advance. Try to see the ruins of Altun Ha, which are the most excavated ruins in all of Belize. The Lamanai ruins are also quite beautiful and are located along the banks of the New River Lagoon. Unlike Brazil, who hosts Carnival around February, September is Carnival time in Belize. You’ll see hundreds of people dancing through the streets of its capital city.
