Tour Overview
For much of its history, Belize has been a wild place, attractive to the adventurous and the hardy - pirates, loggers, settlers who could carve a place to live from the forbidding jungle. It was only a matter of time until adventurous eco-travelers found this corner of Central America. Today, Belize has become a rising star among those seeking active and educational vacations. They go to see its vast expanses of rain forest, rich collection of birds and animals, long stretch of coral reef and plentiful Maya ruins.
