Swim with the colourful fish of the Barrier Reef just off the island of Caye Caulker; wonder at the ancient city of Tikal, rising from the rainforest; or stay in remote splendour at an eco-conscious jungle lodge before heading to the marvellous Belize zoo, where you’ll have the chance to see Belizean cats and get up close to a toucan or two. Or, time your visit to coincide with the traditional Garifuna festival and share in the celebrations.
