Considered one of the world's most spectacular habitats,
beautiful, ancient, mysterious Belize has the largest barrier reef in
this hemisphere. With hundreds of unpopulated "cayes", unlimited miles
of protected sailing inside the barrier reef and legendary snorkeling,
it is truly a cruising paradise.
Belize is a fascinating mix of ancient Mayan culture, British
and Spanish colonialism, and advanced ecological planning. 3,000 year
old limestone ruins and caves share space with rain forests full of jaguars,
howler monkeys and toucans. English is the primary language, and Belizeans
enjoy an enlightened government and thriving economy with a strong focus
on ecotourism. Its natural beauty is now protected by preserves covering
one third of the entire country. This commitment extends over most of
the pristine turquoise waters that lie right under your boat. |
