Who are the Garífunas?

The translation of the word "Garifuna" is something like "people who eat cassava" and is used to designate a Caribbean ethnic group whose origins date back to the African slaves brought to the Caribbean during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They also have their own language, the "Garifuna", although this language is only spoken by one third of the almost one million people who make up this ethnic group, as well as by most Hondurans of color. It is very curious that the Garifuna language is different according to the sex of each one, men use a more closed vocabulary and women use words from Arahuaco. Such is the richness and uniqueness of this culture that its language, traditional dances and music of the Garífunas were declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of Unesco.
Christmas traditions of Belize.

Beliefs, Rituals and Meals Belize is known for its demographic multiculturalism and its diversity really shines during the Christmas season. The Christmas traditions of Belize are typically celebrated throughout the month of December after the lighting of the Christmas tree that marks the opening of the season. During the weeks before Christmas, families usually flock to the city center (mainly Albert Street) to take advantage of all the Christmas offers of new Christmas trees, ornaments, marley (linoleum) for the floor and curtains for Prepare the house for Christmas day.
Belize, a destination of interest for Spanish tourism investment

Belize is a stranger in Spain. The commercial relationship is modest in figures and the investor, almost non-existent. The Government of the smallest economy in Central America, whose engine is tourism, wants to reverse the situation and at FITUR has claimed the opportunities it offers to hotel chains and airlines. And its potential, as a member of the "multi-destination" projects of the Tourism Promotion Agency of Central America (CATA), which brings together the seven countries in the area to jointly promote that sector as a lever for growth, is unlimited.
Diving in Lighthouse Reef

The number one diving region in Belize and home to the Great Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef is a diver's paradise and it is rightly people come from all over the world to dive here. Day trips are offered from all over the country; in the south of Dangriga and Placencia, Caye Caulker, Belize and the most popular exit area of Ambergris Caye. Liveaboard trips are also a favorite among divers, the boats depart mainly from Belize City.
Belize Tourism: attractions, places of interest, nature and tourist landmarks

Belize, formerly known as British Honduras, is the only country in Central America that does not have access to the Pacific Ocean and only has a coastline on the Caribbean Sea in the east. English speaking travelers will feel very safe and convenient there as English is the official language of Belize.
Belize in a nutshell

This small, but extremely interesting Central American country is often bypassed or treated only as a transit between Mexico and Guatemala. In my opinion, this is a big mistake, because it is a country of great diversity in terms of inhabitants, culture and languages. In addition, it offers many attractions that you won't find anywhere else in the area or even in the world (such as the ATM Cave).
Explore the fascinating Mayan ruins of Belize

The Mayan ruins of Belize are of great wealth. Therefore, they have become one of the main reasons for the arrival of tourists to this country of Central America. The ways of life of our ancestors always attract attention, and those places that millennia ago were the cradle of civilizations today are great tourist claims.
The best destinations to visit in Belize

Belize is a country with extraordinary wealth and diversity, which combines all the charm and history of Central America with the beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Despite its small size, it is a destination with a surprising number of sites to visit. Here we tell you the best places to visit in Belize.
Diving in Belize

Belize (formerly: British Honduras) is a small paradise located in Central America that shares a border with Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the east. To the west, Belize has almost 300 kilometers of coastline that overlooks the Caribbean Sea and multiple atolls, islands and islets that combine some of the best Caribbean dive sites. The word Belize means "the road to the sea" and we understand why. Many divers place the small country at the top of their list of dives but few divers know that the ideal way to visit its turquoise waters, and, in passing the famous Blue Hole, is to book a liveaboard in Belize.
