Belize is a small but culturally and geographically diverse country located on the eastern coast of Central America, bordered by Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. Formerly known as British Honduras, Belize became independent from the United Kingdom on September 21, 1981. Its unique history blends Maya heritage, Caribbean influences, Central American traditions, and British colonial culture.
Belize is home to ancient Maya cities, lush rainforests, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and the Belize Barrier Reef—the second-largest barrier reef system in the world. With English as its official language and a population shaped by Creole, Mestizo, Maya, Garifuna, Mennonite, East Indian, and other communities, Belize offers an exceptionally diverse cultural experience within a relatively small country.


Belize is a destination where tropical landscapes, rich culture, and adventure come together. From exploring ancient Maya temples and mysterious caves to snorkeling among colorful marine life and relaxing on Caribbean islands, visitors can experience a wide range of activities in one country.
