Manaca Travel - Travel with a conscience

Destination: Belize

Visit Belize and you will receive a thorough education in the three R´s: ruins, rainforests, and coral reefs. This tiny country, on the Caribbean Sea just south of Mexico and east of Guatemala, packs more opportunities for unique exploration inside its borders than any other Central American nation.

With the second longest coral reef in the world (only Australia´s Great Barrier Reef is longer), Belize is a haven for snorkelers and divers. Inland, the Belizean rainforest is alive with hummingbirds, howler monkeys, toucans, and iguanas' and numerous ecolodges make great base camps from which to experience it all. Add a few Mayan ruin sites to your itinerary, and your vacation and education will be one to remember. Class dismissed.
