Belize: an Adventure!

Belize is not one of the mayor travel destinations but if the country invests a little in proper advertising that might change soon. Belizes biggest asset as a tourist destination is the spectacular beauty of its nature - which makes it the perfect sopt if you are looking for an adventure holiday.

The north of teh country is characterized by flat and swampy coastal plains. Belizes forests are among the richest in the world when it comes to plant species. The countrys southern part is composed of the low mountain ranges of the Maya Mountains while its Caribbean coast is lined with soft coral reefs and some 500 islets and islands called "cayes." The Belize Barrier Reef is known as the longest in the western hemisphere and is considered as the second longest in the whole world, next to the Great Barrier Reef.

Here are some suggestions about what to visit when going to Belize:

1. The Great Barrier Reef. Being one of the world’s greatest treasures, a trip to Belize would mean nothing if you have not visited the longest reef in the western hemisphere, The Great Barrier Reef.

2. Visiting the caves. Caving is indeed one of the most adventurous activities that you can do while in Belize.

3. Exploring the island by land. Get yourself a bike and discover the country at your own pace.

4. Exploring the seas can be as exciting as rediscovering the land. To relish the beauty of the island and its waters, rent a charter boat with guide to go around the island or rent a kayak or a boat to explore the coastline. Take your fishing rod if you are an adept of this sport. The posibilities for adventure sports are (almost) endless: you can go jetskiing, waverunning, diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking...

Although Belize is the perfect desitination if you just feel like baking at the beach, you would miss its best part if you don´t indulge yourself in a little adventure...
