Belize is a tiny country squeezed between the Caribbean Sea, Mexico and Guatemala and covers an area about the size of Wales. It is the only English speaking country in Central America, yet its culture and history draws from a mixture of Caribbean, Spanish, English and Mayan.
Belize holidays with Abercrombie & Kent draw on all of our local knowledge and expertise to deliver a truly memorable travel experience.
Pleasure seekers will want to base their Belize luxury holiday on the coast, where the second largest barrier reef in the world, second only to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, allows snorkelers and divers to enjoy the clearest waters anywhere Underwater visibility in some areas can be up to 60 metres. The less active can just relax on their Belize holiday by taking to the beach or pontoons of the country's numerous cayes and islands and enjoy the still blue waters (The Cayes).
But Belize holidays can be about more than just the beach. A visit to the Mountain Pine Ridge and leaving the coast to explore Belize's vast network of rivers, lakes and caves by canoe is certainly a high recommendation. Slipping silently along these waterways is the ideal way to enjoy the astonishing diversity of bird species or perhaps spot one of the five different species of wildcat, which live deep in Belize's forests.
Belize holidays are also an opportunity to immerse oneself in the country's rich cultural heritage. Belize was also once populated by the Mayan Indians and their legacy is a wealth of temples and edifices, accessible by boat or four wheel drive vehicles. Mostly found in the Cayo District; Caracol, Xunantunich, Altun Ha and Lamanai (Orange Walk region) are all worthwhile day excursions, not to mention the ancient Maya burial caves at Actun Tunichil Muknal - an unforgettable Belize travel experience.
A holiday to Belize can offer luxurious relaxation, adventurous expeditions, romantic honeymoons and family holidays. There really is something for everyone.
