What are the best places to go to in Belize?

  • The second largest coral reef in the world is located near Belize, making the country the ultimate place for diving and snorkeling. The interior of Belize is home to beautiful jungles and the Mayan temples are also well worth seeing. Explore the undiscovered south of Belize, make chocolate with local Maya people and go in search of the jaguar. Relax in your hammock on one of the many islands off the coast and snorkel with nursesharks and manatees. You can easily explore Belize by car or catch the bus and sing reggae along with the locals.
  • The Cayes are the islands off the coast, which are among the best and most beautiful in the world.
  • Other places to make friends for travel life are Mountain Pine Ridge and the Mayan ruins (Altun Ha, Caracol).
  • Visit the ancient Maya ruins of Altun Ha. Here are remains of buildings dated from the 6th and 7th centuries. Climb the temples to get a great view of the surrounding jungle.
    Go snorkeling in the Shark Ray Alley. Here you can enjoy one of the beautiful colorful coral reefs Belize has to offer and swim among the many tropical fish and nurse sharks.
  • Visit Belize's capital city (Belize City) as an alternative to the country's beautiful nature. Here you can get a glimpse of the diversity of cultures Belize possesses.
  • When in Orange Walk, you can take a motorboat across the New River to Lamanai. Here there is a museum, remains of two 16th century Spanish churches and a 19th century sugar mill.
  • The Moutain Pine Ridge is a nature reserve with diverse flora, rivers and a variety of animal species. To the southwest is the largest Maya area, Caracol, which is also well worth visiting.
