Belize is a land of discovery and adventure
in an incredible milieu of natural and
cultural environments. Journey from inland
tropical rain forests to pristine barrier
reefs and coral cayes on the Caribbean
coast. Wander among rich wetland habitats,
visit native villages, and explore ancient
Maya ruins, sacred caves and underground
rivers. Vast areas of tropical wild lands
are protected by an extensive system of
natural reserves where exciting opportunities
to observe wildlife abound. Crocodiles,
Howler and Spider monkeys, iguanas, tapirs,
coati, butterflies, toucans, parrots and
roseate spoonbills are just a few of the
species you will find in Belize. English
is widely spoken, followed by Creole, Spanish,
Garífuna and Mayan dialects, reflecting
the fascinating diversity of contemporary
Belizean culture.
Through our association with local residents,
conservation organizations, and the most
experienced and respected lodges, guides
and outfitters, we offer you a premier
program of small group departures, honeymoon
adventures, family trips, and individual
custom itineraries. We direct you away
from crowded tourist sites to more remote
and pristine marine and terrestrial environments.
The rain forests and Maya ruins of Tikal
National Park, Guatemala are included in
many itineraries we design, and it is just
as easy to add the ancient city of Copan,
Honduras, a short flight south from Belize
City. Belize is an active participant in
a multilateral arrangement linking neighboring
countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras
and El Salvador, which encourages conservation
and ecotourism in the region through the
Mundo Maya initiative.
