Belize Weather
An adventurer’s paradise, Belize is on the Caribbean coast, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, and offers an intriguing mix of tropical forests and wildlife, majestic mountains, mysterious Maya temples, and diving and fishing experiences beyond compare. In a single day you can go from tropical forest to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. For the most part, only a small portion of the world's tourist population have been to Belize; that has kept Belize's Barrier Reef, Maya ruins and pristine rain forest "unspoiled" for all to enjoy.
Belize is a country of various culture, language and ethnic groups. Approximately 200,000 people in Belize consist of Creole, Garifuna, Mestizo, Spanish, Maya, English, Mennonite, Lebanese, Chinese, and Eastern Indian. Due to racial harmony and religious tolerance, all of these different elements have mixed and blended successfully, and Belize has gained a widespread reputation for its friendly peoples. Belize is an ideal place to appreciate the tropical environments and ancient history of Central America. Visit fantastic Mayan ruins, hike and canoe in the jungle, explore beautiful caves and snorkel over the world's second largest barrier reef. Accommodations in Belize range from luxury 5-star condominiums to 1 room guesthouses.
