Belize
The Adventure Coast …. dive the Azure Caribbean, explore Jungle-veiled archeological sites, encounter exotic wild-life or just luxuriate in the warmth of the sun. The cayes (pronouced keys), the offshore atolls, and the barrier reef are the main attraction to Belize. The barrier reef, which is 185 miles long, is the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. The cayes are islands and mangrove banks, located between the mainland and the barrier reef, or on the barrier reef as offshore atolls.
The Belizean mainland has a low coastal plain covered with mangrove wetlands, but the land rises gradually towards the interior. The Maya Mountains and the Cockscomb Range form the backbone of the Southern half of the country. There are many rivers, waterfalls, creeks, and lagoons. Numerous ruins of ancient cities and pyramid-style ceremonial centers show that for hundreds of years, Belize was heavily populated by up to a million Maya Indians, who built elaborate cities and temples, and created advanced mathematics, astronomy, engineering and art.
