Tucked away in the Western Caribbean, you will find the less-traveled, peaceful country of Belize. Belize is a sovereign, democratic state of Central America located south of the Yucatan Peninsula.

The Mestizo, Creole, Maya and Garifuna cultures make up more than 90% of the population, but Belizean life is rich with residents of many other ethnic, geographic and racial backgrounds. This diversity has resulted in a society of great tolerance and no political unrest.

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).

Belize's bio diversity is rich with 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.
