Belize is caught between the jungle and the Caribbean Sea, on a yawning coastline of unspoiled beaches, framed by verdant jungle. The smallest of the Latin American countries, Belize is a paradise teeming with wildlife, culture, history and scenery. There are vast coral reefs blanketed beneath the calm exterior of the Caribbean Sea, jungle mangroves that hide an ecosphere of wildlife and ancient temples, and hidden lagoons hoping to be found.
Lost cities and perfectly preserved Spanish colonial gems complement landscapes ranging from glorious Caribbean beaches and Amazon rainforests to glacial valleys and emerald coffee plantations in Colombia. Come here for South America in miniature - it has the tropical forests of Brazil, the ancient intrigue of Peru, a cuisine to rival Argentina and beaches on a par with the best of Mexico.
