The Keys (pronounced keys, which are offshore atolls) and its coral reef are the main attractions in Belize. The Keys are coral, sand or mangrove islands, located between the mainland and the coral reef, also on the coral reef and still within the perimeter of the offshore atoll reef. Although Mangrove Keys are normally uninhabitable by humans, they provide superior habitat for birds and marine life. Many birds, fish, shellfish and marine organisms begin their lives within the protection of mangroves.
I am still seeing my mother's face when I told her that I was studying what to see in Belize in 7 days. Belize and where is that?? His ignorance to a certain extent was quite normal given that Belize is not a specially known country. Surrounded by tourism giants such as Mexico and Guatemala, two countries that receive hundreds of thousands of tourists every year and that if we are sincere, they have more to offer than Belize. Tastes aside, Belize has one thing that does not offer either of these two countries and is to enjoy tranquility even in the most visited places.

Belize is a small country in Central America whose Caribbean coasts are worth knowing if we are lovers of good beaches and Mayan culture since here, as in Guatemala, this tribe built impressive temples. But well, if it's beaches, we have the most famous island beaches in the whole country, Ambergris Caye or Ambergris Island.
Belize is a small country, on the Caribbean Sea, which borders Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the south and west. It was once part of the Mayan empire, then Europeans and African blacks arrived. Its coasts were used as a base for pirate operations against Spanish ships and as has happened more than once in America, the territory was separated from Guatemala by British influences.
Belize has a coastline of more than 360 kilometers. So imagine the large number of beaches for all tastes that this country has. It may not be one of the best known tourist destinations, rather because of the lack of information we sometimes have regarding its most paradisiacal corners. But this is not an obstacle so that we are not facing one of the best places to spend vacations in the Caribbean.

The Belize District is centrally located between the northern and southern borders of the country with a variety of transportation options to any point both inland and out to the cayes. Fishing, snorkeling, diving and swimming are excellent around nearby St. George's and Goff's caye while the rivers and lagoons are great for boating and sightseeing.
In the western part of Belize, you will find Cayo District, located in approximately 2,000 square miles of succulent landscape. This area shows an incredible fortune of interest and activities for tourists and is also the entrance to Guatemala and the incredible ruins of Tikal. Mountain Pine Ridge is often called the main attraction of the area, but Cayo District also includes many great Mayan ruins, towns such as San Ignacio and Santa Elena, the border of Benque Viejo and the villa between the scenic Río Mopan and Río Macal.
While Corozal District depended for many years on the sugar industry, at one time having its own sugar factory located in Libertad Village, today the economy is more diversified. Sugar production and other agricultural crops such as papaya are still central to the way of life of many rural Corozalenos, but occupations in the tourism industry are slowly becoming more prominent. Now almost 65% of Corozalenos depend on the Commercial Free Zone for employment.
Sugar, though, no longer reigns supreme in Orange Walk. In addition to the economic boost from eco tourism, there has been agricultural diversification in recent years. This has seen the recent introduction of fields of soybean, onions and papayas as cash crops. The Orange Walk district is also well known for its cattle and rum production.
Connecting to any of the southern destinations from either the capital Belmopan or the commercial center Belize City is a beautiful scenic ride on the Hummingbird and Southern Highways. This region is easily accessible by daily commuter flights to Dangriga and nearby Independence.
This eclectic and fascinating land is only just starting to get the attention – and visitors – it deserves and is gaining recognition as Belize’s “emerging destination”. The paving of the Southern Highway is finally nearing completion, the bus service runs regularly, and there are now several daily commuter flights on Tropic Air and Maya Island Air.
