The Great Blue Hole, Mayan ruins in the jungle and English-speaking Central America's most relaxed destination.
Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America, which makes it uniquely accessible. The Belize Barrier Reef (the second largest in the world) offers extraordinary snorkelling and diving. The jungle interior contains some of the most atmospheric Mayan ruins in the region. And the cayes (islands) off the coast are among the most relaxed and beautiful in the Caribbean.
