3 Reasons Why You Have to Visit Belize This Summer

Ever thought about visiting Belize? If you’re asking yourself that question, you should know that you might be missing out on one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Surrounded by crystal clear water, endless white sand beaches, and rich rainforest—Belize has something for everyone.


Whether you are the adventurous type or the laid-back vacationer, there is something for everyone at all times of the year. As an avid traveler, I know how important it is to have a lot of things to keep you occupied so you can enjoy your holiday.


Belize is home to some of the most pristine beaches in the world, but not everyone knows about it. The country is off the radar for most Americans, which makes it one of the least touristy destinations in Central America. And that’s part of what makes Belize so great. If you’re looking for an authentic Latin American vacation, an eco-safari, or simply a place with plenty to do, then this may be your ultimate travel destination.


1. Belize is ripe with adventure: scuba diving, hiking, snorkeling & much more

Belize is home to some of the most beautiful and diverse coral reefs in the world. There's no better way to enjoy these underwater wonders than by booking a scuba diving trip. You’ll spot species of shark as well as stingrays, barracudas and even sea turtles as you explore the depths below. Not to mention the Blue Hole, one of the Caribbean’s #1 scuba diving destinations!



If you want to hike, Belize's rich foliage and jungle environment is home to an incredible number of birds, insects and animals. You can explore this paradise by foot on one of Belize's many rainforest trails. Many companies offer guided tours while some tour operators offer remote camping trips for those who love to rough it. Hiking in the jungle offers you a glimpse of what life must have been like before industrialization took over. You'll be amazed at how little man has changed the natural landscape.


2. Belize has plenty to offer in the way of history & culture, like archaeological sites and Mayan ruins

Belize has a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations like the Maya and the Itza. Belize is well-known for its beautiful Mayan ruins. There are over 3000 Mayan ruins all throughout the country. The most popular ones are located in Northern Belize, which include Lamanai, Rio On Poo

ls and Caracol. These ruins were made thousands of years ago by the Maya civilization. They show how creative and advanced they were for their time period. Each of these sites has something unique to offer tourists like you, whether it is archaeological artifacts or natural wonders (such as waterfalls). There are also ruins near Dangriga and Hopkins on Ambergris Caye if you're staying on this island paradise during your trip to Belize!


These sites were built by the Mayans who inhabited this area for thousands of years before European settlers arrived in the 1500's. It was not until the first Europeans settled in Belize that the Mayans began to lose their influence.



3. Belize has the best beaches in the world

There are literally hundreds of beautiful beaches in Belize. These include the Ambergris Caye Barrier Reef, Tobacco Caye, and Hol Chan. Some of the most popular beaches include Caye Caulker and Placencia Beach. If you're looking to relax and enjoy the sun with white sand between your toes, then these beaches are just what you're looking for! Most of them allow tourists and visitors to rent out beach houses or cabanas if you choose to stay overnight at one of them. These areas also commonly host local markets and festivals throughout the year, making them more than just a relaxing getaway – they're also a great place to experience what everyday life is like there.



Belize definitely has some of the finest beaches in Central America, if not in the entire world. You can find a lot of different types of beaches here, from long stretches of white sand to hidden coves with turquoise blue water. Some even have fringing reefs that offer excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities.


Belize is also home to the longest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere, which stretches from the Mexican border through Belize's Caribbean coast and into neighboring Guatemala. It's one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, supporting more than 1,400 species of fish and 300 types of coral. The reef is second only in size to Australia's Great Barrier Reef and is home to over 400 species of hard and soft corals and an array of exotic marine life.


In Conclusion: Get Here!

Strand yourself on a sugar-white beach, dive down to see all kinds of weird and wonderful creatures or mesmerize your taste buds with the diverse array of cuisine available in this vibrant country. Belize has something for everyone. We’ll see you soon!
