Belize combines three distinct worlds: the world's second largest coral reef, Mayan heritage with its pyramids buried beneath vegetation, and tropical jungle populated by jaguars and colorful birds. This small Central American country can be discovered either on a private circuit with an English-speaking guide or in a small group to share the emotions of diving or wildlife watching. Two-week circuits allow you to balance archaeological sites, underwater activities and immersion in nature, while three weeks offer time to explore the most remote atolls.
