Bordering Mexico and Guatemala, with the Caribbean Sea at its doorstep, the tiny nation of Belize was once regarded as a destination for the more "adventurous traveller", but this is no longer the case. Today travellers booking flights to Belize range from honeymooners and families to ecotourists and scuba divers. And although it is one of the smallest countries in the region it has the most abundant natural beauty and a fascinating history to rival any of its neighbours.
Thanks to its strategic location, Belize boasts some of the best diving in the Americas which is a good reason for avid divers booking flights to Belize to pack their dive logs. The Belize Barrier Reef – a Unesco World Heritage Site - is the second longest in the world with the most diverse and protected marine ecosystem. The country’s ubiquitous caves are another major draw. Actun Tunichil Muknal, the most popular with visitors, has limestone formations and Mayan artefacts adorning it.
History buffs will revel in Belize’s magnificent ancient ruins dating back to 1500 BC. Caracol located at the foothills of Maya Mountains, and Altun Ha in the north, are two of the most significant sites of the Maya civilisation.
