BELIZE LIVING
 | Belize is an English-speaking, democratic country in Central America, located on the Caribbean Sea. Belize considers itself more “Caribbean” than “Latin”, and is even a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and not a member of the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).
So, just where is Belize? Our map can give you a birds-eye view of this small country located on the Caribbean Sea, just south of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Among its other cultural attractions, Belize has thousands of Mayav archaeological temples. The country also possesses the largest cave system in Central America. Belize's bio diversity is rich, both marine and terrestrial, with a host of flora and fauna. About thirty-seven percent (37%) of Belize's land territory falls under some form of official protected status. As such conservation activities remain an important priority in government policy with the notable example of having the only jaguar reserve in the world. | With hundreds of miles of pristine white sand beaches, Belize is best known for its marine environment, in particular, for having the longest living barrier reef in the western hemisphere and the second longest contiguous reef in the world after Australia. Consequently, divers flock to Belize to enjoy its underwater attractions. Whether its The Blue Hole, or the amazing reef walls just offshore from Sapphire Beach, the diving in Belize is pristine. Belize, as a consequence of its medley of cultural attractions, unique marine and terrestrial bio diversity, and conservation efforts, is fast becoming a hotspot for travelers seeking eco-tourism and adventure vacation experiences.
