Belize enjoys a tropical climate, making it an appealing year-round destination. However, the dry season, from November to April, is the best time to visit. You'll experience clear skies, warm temperatures, and lower humidity during this period. It's the perfect time to explore the vibrant marine life by snorkelling or diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Belize Barrier Reef. If you're interested in birdwatching, plan your trip between February and May when migratory birds flock to Belize's lush forests.
Belizean cuisine is a delightful fusion of flavours influenced by its diverse cultural heritage. Sample the iconic dish of Belize, the hearty and flavoursome rice and beans, often accompanied by succulent stewed chicken or fish. Indulge in fresh seafood delicacies like lobster, conch, and shrimp, sourced directly from the Caribbean Sea. For a unique culinary experience, don't miss trying the famous Belizean ganaches, crispy tortillas topped with beans, cheese, and flavorful toppings.
Explore the rich history of Belize through its ancient Mayan ruins scattered throughout the country. One of the most famous sites is the awe-inspiring city of Caracol, nestled deep within the jungles of the Cayo District. Admire the towering pyramids, intricate stelae, and ball courts that glimpse the grandeur of Mayan civilisation. Another fascinating historical site is Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM), a cave in the same district renowned for its archaeological significance and collection of ancient Mayan artifacts and human remains. Xunantunich is also worth a visit, with its imposing El Castillo pyramid offering panoramic views of the surrounding rainforest. Finally, take advantage of the chance to discover the secrets of Lamanai, a Mayan city located on the banks of the New River Lagoon, where you'll have the opportunity to spot howler monkeys and exotic birds during your journey.
Besides the historical sites, Belize offers an array of other breathtaking sights. Head to the coastal town of Placencia, renowned for its pristine beaches and laid-back vibes.
