Belize is a small Central American nation with a Caribbean vibe, offering an enticing blend of natural beauty and rich history for maritime adventurers. The barrier reef off the eastern shore is the second largest in the world, but Belize’s allure goes far beyond the deep blue waters. The Mayan ruins and the cultural diversity interweave with the rich traditions, the local cuisine, the music, and the natural warmth of Belizeans.
