Sabbaticals & Experiential Holidays in Belize
A tiny, tropical country that packs a serious punch, thanks to 200 idyllic coral islands speckling its Caribbean coast (the cayes), and swathes of inland jungle, home to elusive jaguars and bright toucans. Probably the most easygoing Central American country to visit – English speaking, with far fewer tourists and friendly locals. Travel still feels like a discovery here.
World-class diving and snorkelling along the world’s second-longest coral reef and in the depths of the world-renowned Blue Hole. Homeplace to the Mayan civilisation, you can visit 600+ extraordinary archaeological sites, including Xunantunich’s tombs and hieroglyphs, Altun Ha and the jungle-clad Caracol. A real melange of cultures and influences, notably laid-back Creole, modern-day Mayan and Mestizo. Belize epitomises tropical charm – colourful beach houses, iridescent birds of paradise, super-fresh seafood, and a lot of rum. Plus an infectious drumming beat wherever you go.
