Introduction: Belize Places

A detailed guide to the entire country, with principal sites clearly cross-referenced by number to the maps.

Belizeans like to tell you that that once you have drunk fresh Belize creek water and tasted rice and beans, their staple diet, you are certain to come back. Even if you don’t succumb to these particular culinary temptations, once you have dived the rainbow-colored water world around Belize’s spectacular coral reef, traced the ancient footsteps of Maya priests to the top of great pyramids, and swum in crystal-clear pools in the rainforest, it is still more than likely you will want to return for a second helping.

Belize City is the hub, the whole nation under one roof, distilled down into this bustling, ramshackle port town by the Caribbean Sea.

North of the City, riverside Creole communities left slumbering since the end of the logging industry in the 1960s are waking up to help unlock Belize’s environmental treasure chest. Situated in vast wetlands and pristine rainforest, you can see more wildlife here in one day than in most other parts of the world in a year.

In the forested northwest, Maya cities hidden for centuries by the jungle are coming back to life, their mysteries painstakingly being unraveled by teams of archeologists from around the world.
