We know that it has beautiful beaches, spectacular atolls, a great barrier of corals and a lot of , where ecotourism is the absolute sovereign. Well, also, when it comes to scuba diving, there is Turneffe Atoll.

Some of the ingredients that we will find in a good part of their dishes are beans and rice, mixed with chicken, pork or veal, fish, seafood and vegetables. To complement, sauces with coconut milk or fried plantain are usually prepared to give it a more tropical flavor. You also have a great taste for spices, such as bay leaves, basil, ginger, mint, parsley or oregano, among others.
The Mountainous Maya region attracts lovers of outdoor adventures. Recognizing the value of healthy ecosystems, the Belize government has allocated much of this region as protected areas. As a result, the environment remains very healthy and unspoiled, with abundant wildlife and native vegetation. The Mountainous Maya region of Belize extends west of the Hummingbird Highway and the area that borders the Western Highway.
Social isolation is one of the preventive measures taken by some governments to avoid the spread of Covid-19, so we propose some recommendations of things you can do during your stay at home.
More than 40% of the island of Belize is a protected area and with that it is the country that has the most kilometers protected as reserves within its borders. The natural attractions of this small American nation are wonderful and many, as we find beaches with transparent waters we see inland lush forests with great wildlife.
This small, but extremely interesting Central American country is often bypassed or treated only as a transit between Mexico and Guatemala. In my opinion, this is a big mistake, because it is a country of great diversity in terms of inhabitants, culture and languages. In addition, it offers many attractions that you won't find anywhere else in the area or even in the world (such as the ATM Cave).
Belize is, perhaps, the least known country in Central America: a neighbor of Guatemala and Mexico, it is the only English-speaking territory (used to be called British Honduras in the time before independence) of the mainland.
Geographically it is part of Central America and has borders with Guatemala and Mexico, but that does not necessarily make it part of Latin America. It was the last country in the Americas to achieve independence, in 1981, but officially Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom remains "sovereign," as in other territories 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.
