Have
you ever wanted to explore one of the Seven Underwater Wonders
of the World.… paddle a canoe down a jungle river as iguanas sun
themselves on tree limbs overhead.… explore a newly excavated Mayan city
where kings held court a thousand
years ago...camp for the night on a tiny island surrounded by its own
private reef....or stroll along jungle paths in the world's only jaguar
preserve? All this is
possible in Belize.
Belize
is a country where a pristine environment greets visitors from around
the globe, and where living coral gardens and exotic marine life
highlight
the Western hemisphere's largest Barrier Reef.
Above all, Belize
has more than its share of pristine beauty sculpted in our
mountains, tropical rain forests, ancient Mayan Kingdoms, extensive
caves, meandering waterways, and underwater worlds.
