More than a vacation, Belize is a state of being. It is a place where your senses come alive and you find yourself not just living, but savoring every moment. Just a two-hour flight from the U.S., it has never been easier to become one with the rainforest. To be one with the Western Hemisphere's largest
barrier reef and its sparkling turquoise waters. To be one with majestic Mayan temples.
Come, be one with the wonder and excitement that is Mother Nature.
Belize is divided into six districts connected by a paved, two-lane highway system and a well-organized network of local airline and boat services making it easy to plan your visit from one end of the country to the next. For visitors there are actually 9 well-recognized destinations from which to mix and match your choice of reef, rainforest, Maya history and living cultures.
Northern Belize
Sugar cane fields line the highways and the New River once a major waterway for the ancient Maya is now a veritable paradise of wildlife and scenery in the northern area of Belize. Remnants of Maya heritage in temples and ceremonial sites coexist with the living cultures of Mestizo and Yucatec Maya ancestry. The Spanish language is commonplace here.
• Corozal
Central Belize
The fertile Belize River Valley with howler monkey and bird sanctuaries and Altun Ha Maya temples are found in the Belize District, as is Belize City. the largest population center in the country, Belize City is Belize’s cultural center, a pulsating mix of old-world charm and modern comforts. With its colonial architecture and historical mementos from the 1700’s the “Kriol” culture is predominant in the Belize district.
Western Belize
The Cayo district is home to the nation’s capital Belmopan, the twin towns of Santa Elena and San Ignacio and the border town of Benque Viejo del Carmen combined with the forest, caves and waterfalls of the Mountain Pine Ridge and several grand Maya cities. The Mestizo influence here is flavored with a large Mennonite population of German origin based in the community of Spanish Lookout
Southern Belize
Southern Belize is yet another glorious world within Belize. Along with the popular tourism destinations of Hopkins and Placencia, golden sand beaches, the world’s only jaguar reserve, living cultures of the Garifuna, Mopan and Kekchi Maya, visitors will also encounter acres of citrus and banana plantations, the sensuous rhythm of Garifuna drums, East Indian “rotti” and home-made Maya chocolate.
