With all the heart of a Central American country and all the soul of a Caribbean Isle, Belize opens the door to one-of-a-kind exploration. Here you can choose adventures like trekking ancient Maya ruins and scouting the only jaguar preserve in the world. Hike along rainforest trails and take a zip line through lush treetops. Or hop on an inner tube and float through spectacular limestone caves, passing tumbling waterfalls along the network of rivers flowing to the Caribbean. And for ultimate relaxation, dig your toes in the sand anywhere along the breathtaking 200-mile-long coastline with hundreds of tiny islets called cayes (pronounced “keys”).
