Belize

The Maya civilization spread itself from the Yucatan peninsula over what is now Belize around 1500 BCE until the European settlements arrived 500 years ago. Despite the later Spanish and British domination the Mayan culture still remains in many aspects. Take a trip to the ancient temples of “Caana” or “El Castillo” one day and dive Belize’s clear blue waters the next. The diversity of ecosystems in Belize with a abundance of marine and terrestrial species give it a key place in the globally significant Mesoamerican Biological Corridor.
