Belize - An Adventurer's Paradise

Belize, earlier British Honduras, is a country in Central America. Earlier it has been the power seat of Mayan, Spanish and British Empire. Belize is taken from the Maya word ‘belix’ which means “muddy water.” Belize is a complete adventurer’s paradise offering great opportunities to enjoy various activities.

Squeezed between Mexico and Guatemala, the landscape of Belize is a mix of tropical forest with rich wildlife, high mountains, and plenty of aquatic life. If you are vacationing in Belize, you will enjoy great privacy in its lodges close to the beauty of nature. Belize is a wonderful place and if you get time you can check the Mayan sites, rustic colonial buildings and thick jungles which are home to the endangered howler monkeys.

The best time to visit to Belize in between December and May when it is dry. Tourists though find it a great place for Christmas and Easter vacation. It is ideal place to rest on your holidays. Take the roads which land you up in Belize for your vacations.
