Belize holds a very close place in our hearts. We love Belize and feel it is one of the best places to visit in Central America. The people of Belize are what make the country great. Belize is the only Central American country that speaks English. Belize, unlike other neighboring countries, was settled by the English after many years with Mayan civilizations controlling and Spanish attempts at taking over. The Mayan history that fills Belize is fascinating and one can visit many Mayan sites throughout the country. Belize is known mostly for the world’s second largest barrier reef system. These reefs protect the land from Mexico to Honduras and are home to amazing species. Explore these reefs with guided snorkel or dive trips and experience the water world like never before. Belize is not all beaches and gorgeous water though. Belize also offers many unique jungle accommodations. The creatures of Belize included macaws, howler monkeys, ant eaters, jaguars as well as many other forms of flora and fauna.
The exchange rate of Belize is a simple $1 to $2 Belizean Dollars. Be sure to ask if you are unsure as the same $ symbol is used in both. Most items will be listed in Belizean dollars but things like land and other assets are often listed in $US. Getting to Belize is simple and relatively inexpensive. From Houston, Dallas, and Austin, flights range from $250 to $500 round trip and are only about 2.5 hours long. The food of Belize is rich and full of flavor. But it is the people of Belize that will leave you saying that Belize is your new favorite vacation destination. We guarantee it with one of these trips.
