Belize is an adventurer's paradise, located on the Caribbean Coast of Central America, south of Mexico and west of Guatemala. With spectacular dive sites such as the famous Blue Hole, Belize is often referred to as the diving capital of the world. Like a gigantic, living wall, Belize's extraordinary Barrier Reef is a complicated system of individual reefs that parallels the nation's coastline, stretching 185 miles from Yucatan to Central America. The cayes (pronounced keys), are a chain of offshore islands that range from small uninhabited isles, to large tropic islands, complete with outstanding resort facilities. The cayes span 3,000 square miles of protected water, scattered inside and outside the magnificent Barrier Reef. Costa Rica has something for everybody! Eco-tourism, bird watching, adventure tours, fishing, diving, and rafting are all reasons why Costa Rica's one of the hottest destinations today. |
