BELIZE MEXICO Belize is a surprising destination, reminiscent of a Caribbean island in some locations. With English as the official language, you'll never be at a loss for words when describing the beauty all around you. Unofficially, the national pastime is enjoying the incredible natural environment. The island of Ambergris Caye is home to the second-largest barrier reef in the world and endless watersports. Low-key sun worshippers can find their niche throughout the country. Belize's British influence is quite evident in places like Belize City, a vibrant city where you can get an authentic taste of the country's unique traditions. It's a city of small streets left over from colonial times, inhabited by descendants of Kriol, Garifuna and Mestizo lineage. The Mayan culture is still alive and well throughout Belize. The country's Cayo region is home to some of the most impressive Mayan ruins anywhere, including Cahal Pech, Xunantunich, Chaa Creek and the 35-square-mile ancient city of Carocol.
