Belize is home to the Great Blue Hole, a giant marine sinkhole over 300 meters across and 125 meters deep.
It is the only Central American country where English is the official language.
Diving the Blue Hole and exploring ancient caves in the same trip makes Belize unforgettable.
- A traveler on visiting Belize
Belize is a small but extraordinarily diverse country on the Caribbean coast of Central America, famous for the Great Blue Hole and the second-largest barrier reef in the world. Its lush jungles hide ancient Mayan ruins like Xunantunich and Caracol, while its cayes offer world-class snorkeling and diving. As the only English-speaking country in Central America, Belize is an accessible and adventurous tropical destination.
