Formerly known as British Honduras, Belize is a beautiful Caribbean country widely known for its majestic coastlines and lush rainforests. Travelers can romp and party on the shores of the Placencia Peninsula or the surrounding islands such as Laughing Bird Caye. Wildlife-watching and archaeological tours in Belize go hand-in-hand as many of its Mayan ruins are home to unique species. The Mayan site of Caracol, for example, is where you’ll find laughing falcons, king vultures, and scarlet macaws. For enthusiasts of indoor activities, Belize has plenty of museums to get your culture fix. The Museum of Belize showcases the country’s art and history, while the Traveller’s Liquors Heritage Center will let you learn more about the popular local One Barrel Rum.
