Belize

Although Belize is docked upon Central America's mainland, it’s an island of diversity. The country’s tiny fingernail of land is a natural and cultural wonderland, a thriving swirl of jungles, rivers, and beaches peopled by Mayans and the Garifuna. Yet travelers spend as much time off the coast, among Belize's brilliant waters, far-flung cayes, and the second largest barrier reef in the world.
