The stunning natural beauty of Belize has propelled its popularity in recent years. This Central American country is sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala but sits along the Caribbean Sea on its eastern side. Though small, Belize is composed of diverse landscapes including pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and towering mountains. Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest in the world, is its top attraction. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Great Blue Hole are great places to appreciate its grandeur. Exploring major Mayan archaeological sites such as Cayo District, Corozal, Altun Ha, and Lamanai offers a peek into its ancient past. Fantastic beaches abound too, such as Ambergris Caye, Placencia Peninsula, and Caye Caulker. Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary, on the other hand, offers rare wildlife sightings.
