If you are looking for a laid-back Caribbean vacation with an abundance of lush natural sceneries for your 2020 vacation, look no further than the beautiful country of Belize.
Belize is a small nation (roughly the size of Vermont in the USA) with a population of only about 360,000 people. But don’t let that fool you as the country offers a lot of activities that make every traveler want to stay longer.
Often described as a “melting pot of cultures”, the people of Belize belong to numerous cultural groups including the Garifuna, Maya, Spanish, and, of course, the Caribbean influenced Creole. Despite being located in Central America, the country elicits a ‘Caribbean Vibe’ giving it that laid-back, “island time” feeling that is so sought after by vacationers.
Among its colorful and friendly people, sunny days pass by slowly and happily, and smiles are passed out readily. One quirky and illustrative tendency of locals is to specify whether they are on Belize time that day; for example, if a local says to meet at “9 o’clock Belize,” that means the meeting time will be more like 9:15 or 9:30.
Come prepared to completely relax and let go. Take a stroll along the beach, enjoy a delicious tropical drink (we suggest trying the local Caribbean Rum), and soak it all in.
The natural wonders of Belize are as diverse as the people. In the west, the landscape is made up of dense tropical rainforest. Wildlife is abundant, and there are endless opportunities to explore top attractions like cascading waterfalls, ancient Maya cities, sacred caves, jungle rivers, and indigenous towns and villages.
Just off the coast lies the second largest barrier reef and a plethora of islands and cayes where visitors and locals alike can fish, sail, dive, snorkel, and even swim with sharks and rays! And scuba diving enthusiasts can explore the famous Great Blue Hole, a massive marine sinkhole that is a staggering 1,073 ft. in diameter and 407 ft. deep.
When adventure travelers visit Belize, they can count on friendly locals, mouthwatering Belizean cuisine, turquoise Caribbean waters, traditional cultural displays, and awe-inspiring nature.
Belize also offers world-class hotels and resorts like the award-winning Chabil Mar in the stunning Placencia Peninsula of Southern Belize. From a Maya term meaning “beautiful sea”, this beachfront resort features unique villas, a gourmet restaurant and two infinity swimming pools gorgeously ensconced in a lush tropical garden setting.
