You may have never heard of Belize and its beauty. Well, you have missed a lot, but better late than never! This former British colony is located in Central America, near the Mexican border, in the heart of the Caribbean basin. Belize, with its beautiful resorts, forests, beaches and great historical sights is slowly climbing on the scale as one of the greatest places to visit. These are the top places to see while staying in former British Honduras.

Mayan Ruins

Dozens of Mayan cities can be found on the territory of Belize. The decades-old excavations of pyramids and other ruins prove that Belize once was the center of the Mayan civilization. The two most known are the Caracol Ruins, the largest Mayan ruin located in the heart of the Chiquibul Forest, and Xunantunich, the most restored Mayan ruin.

Dangriga And The Hopkins Village

The best way to truly feel the soul of one nation is to bond with the locals. It can be fun and you will learn a lot. At Dangriga, which is the home to the Belizean Garifuna, the descendants of shipwrecked slaves and native Caribs, you can hear African music, see religious traditions, or even learn to drum. In Hopkins village, where the world’s second largest barrier reef can be found, you shouldn’t leave home without going on a memorable snorkeling adventure.
