NATURE AND OUTDOORS

Let’s start with the natural wonders that make Belize such a special place.

The country is home to the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world. Whether you’re an experienced scuba diver or a first-time snorkeler, you’ll be blown away by the vibrant colors and incredible diversity of marine life that call these waters home. And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not take a day trip to the famous Blue Hole, a massive underwater sinkhole that’s considered one of the top dive sites in the world?

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Belize’s natural beauty. Inland, you’ll find lush rainforests teeming with wildlife, including jaguars, howler monkeys, and colorful toucans. Hike through the jungle to discover hidden waterfalls and ancient Mayan ruins, or float down a lazy river in an inner tube, soaking up the sun and the stunning scenery.
