Jewel In The Heart Of The Caribbean Basin

Squashed between Mexico and Guatemala in the luxuriantly green heart of Central America, Belize’s natural beauty is staggering for a country of such tiny proportions. Whether you plan to hike the rainforest-draped mountains of Cockscomb Basin, scuba dive with sharks and kaleidoscopic fish in the world’s second-longest barrier reef, or unearth Mayan pyramids in jungly Caracol — the toughest challenge, as every first-time visitor will tell you, is deciding what to do first.11
