As a less traveled to country in Central America, Belize is not packed with tourists and is a great place to experience the local culture. With options of rainforest stays or accommodations on the beach, and an ease that allows you to even split your vacation between the two, Belize is sure to have something for everyone.

Being that is is located in Central America, Belize includes ancient Mayan ruins that are a bit less busy than their Mexican cousins' are. This provides you the chance for photo ops that you wouldn’t have on the tours from Cancun or Tulum. There are also caves to explore and spelunk, with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites. We don’t want to forget about the amazing foods and unique fruits and veggies to try either. Belize is definitely a great place to go to experience more of the culture of Central America without the crowds.
