Belize serves as a Caribbean gateway to Central America and the Caribbean, widely considered the most convenient hub for accessing both regions.
Belize is characterized by a variety of incredible biological and geographic diversity. The mainland contains tropical rainforests, majestic Mayan Mountains, coastal forests, and grassland that is home to precious flora and fauna.
The Belize shore is distinguished by its more than one hundred coastal islands and the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere – spanning over 180 miles (290 kilometres).
