Belize Travel Information

For a relatively small country compared to neighbours in the Americas, Belize has a diversity of geography, climate and biology unlike any other. From mountains and jungle canopy to idyllic coral atolls set adrift in the Caribbean Sea, you can find the perfect environment for your holiday in Belize.

Head to Belize's Cayo District for inland adventure, and find the 1,000 ft Falls, the highest in Central America, or scale the Maya Mountains, which include Doyle's Delight and Victoria Peak, the highest points in Belize. Alternatively, visit Belize's Caribbean coast to explore its many cayes, or islands formed on coral reefs.

The Belize Barrier Reef forms the country's biggest tourist attraction, and is the second largest coral barrier reef in the world. Many travellers visit Belize to dive in the crystal clear waters surrounding the reef, snorkelling to explore the plant and animal life underwater, and heading above the waves to the sandy beaches of Belize.

Key information for your Belize travels

• Belize is the least densely populated country of Central America, with large vacant expanses of forests and wilderness. So take some essential information with you to Belize so not to be stuck out in the bush.
• Belize City, the nation's former capital and largest city, was founded in the 17th century by British lumber barons, and today brings together Spanish and British colonial influences with the indigenous people to create a culture likened to other major Caribbean cities.
• The weather in Belize tends to be warm year-round, though elevation and closeness to the sea can cool temperatures significantly. The nation is also a wet one, with southern Belize receiving over 450 cm of rain annually.
