Tucked away along the east coast of Central America on the Caribbean Sea is a small but incredibly<br />
beautiful country that’s literally packed with sights that will take your breath away. It can only be<br />
Belize.<br />
The Cayes<br />
With more than 400 islands, or cayes as they’re known<br />
locally, there’s an incredible number of beautiful places<br />
to explore in Belize. Ranging from the biggest (Ambergris<br />
Caye, home to towns and resorts) to the hundreds of tiny<br />
desert islands that you could call your own, it’s a perfect<br />
holiday if white sands and turquoise seas are your kind of<br />
thing.<br />
Mayan Ruins<br />
Scattered throughout Central America, the best preserved<br />
sites of the ancient Mayan civilisations are found in Belize.<br />
The most famous is Caracol, a<br />
sprawling site that’s home<br />
to numerous temples,<br />
including the mysterious<br />
“Sky Palace”.<br />
The Belize Barrier Reef<br />
The country is home to the world’s second largest reef<br />
system behind Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. It stretches for<br />
hundreds of miles off the coast and serves as the habitat<br />
for a stunning variety of tropical fish and other beautiful<br />
sea creatures. It’s one of the natural wonders of the world<br />
– and for good reason.<br />
The Great Blue Hole<br />
You might have seen the image<br />
somewhere before: a deep blue<br />
circle in the middle of the<br />
azure blue seas of the Belize<br />
Barrier Reef. Originally<br />
explored by underwater<br />
legend Jacques Cousteau,<br />
it’s a giant 125-metre deep<br />
sinkhole that has rightly<br />
become a paradise for<br />
scuba divers and other ocean<br />
adventurers.<br />
