About Belize

Off the coast lies the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest reef system in the world. In its middle is the Great Blue Hole, a round underwater sinkhole about 300 metres across and 125 metres deep, made famous by the explorer Jacques Cousteau.

Inland, the Maya city of Xunantunich is crowned by El Castillo, a temple about 40 metres high with carved friezes, and the cool highlands of Mountain Pine Ridge are full of rivers and waterfalls. On the southern coast, Placencia is a relaxed fishing village on a narrow sandy peninsula.
