Belize has doubled its commitment to a tourism that defends the environment at all costs without options for overcrowding or all-inclusive, thanks to a careful offer of boutique hotels and crystal clear waters that are the dream of every diver.
Belize has a coastline of more than 360 kilometers. So imagine the large number of beaches for all tastes that this country has. It may not be one of the best known tourist destinations, rather because of the lack of information we sometimes have regarding its most paradisiacal corners. But this is not an obstacle so that we are not facing one of the best places to spend vacations in the Caribbean.
I am still seeing my mother's face when I told her that I was studying what to see in Belize in 7 days. Belize and where is that?? His ignorance to a certain extent was quite normal given that Belize is not a specially known country. Surrounded by tourism giants such as Mexico and Guatemala, two countries that receive hundreds of thousands of tourists every year and that if we are sincere, they have more to offer than Belize. Tastes aside, Belize has one thing that does not offer either of these two countries and is to enjoy tranquility even in the most visited places.
The Mountainous Maya region attracts lovers of outdoor adventures. Recognizing the value of healthy ecosystems, the Belize government has allocated much of this region as protected areas. As a result, the environment remains very healthy and unspoiled, with abundant wildlife and native vegetation. The Mountainous Maya region of Belize extends west of the Hummingbird Highway and the area that borders the Western Highway.
Our recommendation, in case you choose Belize as a diving practice destination, is to visit Belize from the second half of December, until the first week of March, at which time the water temperature is the lowest with twenty-six degrees. But if you want to enjoy the sun and the beach, we recommend traveling in mid-April, where the water temperature starts to rise, until June where they reach twenty-nine degrees in summer as the maximum temperature.
The Caribbean is full of festivities and the truth is that not only here but also in other parts of the world, parties related to seafood are quite common. Well, in July in Little Belize, the Lobster Festival is celebrated here. Those days people from all over the country and foreign tourism arrive at Caye Caulker, the affectionate island as they also call it, to enjoy a whole weekend full of parties and of course, full of delicious lobsters.
The Central American destination has begun a campaign to grant a trip for two people once the restrictions on the Coronavirus have been lifted.
Within the American continent we can enjoy a series of really satisfactory proposals for couples and families. In recent years, Belize has become one of the preferred places, among other things because it offers spectacular natural areas and good gastronomy.

The Belize District is centrally located between the northern and southern borders of the country with a variety of transportation options to any point both inland and out to the cayes. Fishing, snorkeling, diving and swimming are excellent around nearby St. George's and Goff's caye while the rivers and lagoons are great for boating and sightseeing.
In the western part of Belize, you will find Cayo District, located in approximately 2,000 square miles of succulent landscape. This area shows an incredible fortune of interest and activities for tourists and is also the entrance to Guatemala and the incredible ruins of Tikal. Mountain Pine Ridge is often called the main attraction of the area, but Cayo District also includes many great Mayan ruins, towns such as San Ignacio and Santa Elena, the border of Benque Viejo and the villa between the scenic Río Mopan and Río Macal.
While Corozal District depended for many years on the sugar industry, at one time having its own sugar factory located in Libertad Village, today the economy is more diversified. Sugar production and other agricultural crops such as papaya are still central to the way of life of many rural Corozalenos, but occupations in the tourism industry are slowly becoming more prominent. Now almost 65% of Corozalenos depend on the Commercial Free Zone for employment.
Sugar, though, no longer reigns supreme in Orange Walk. In addition to the economic boost from eco tourism, there has been agricultural diversification in recent years. This has seen the recent introduction of fields of soybean, onions and papayas as cash crops. The Orange Walk district is also well known for its cattle and rum production.
Connecting to any of the southern destinations from either the capital Belmopan or the commercial center Belize City is a beautiful scenic ride on the Hummingbird and Southern Highways. This region is easily accessible by daily commuter flights to Dangriga and nearby Independence.
This eclectic and fascinating land is only just starting to get the attention – and visitors – it deserves and is gaining recognition as Belize’s “emerging destination”. The paving of the Southern Highway is finally nearing completion, the bus service runs regularly, and there are now several daily commuter flights on Tropic Air and Maya Island Air.
