Belize just recently gained independence from Great Britain in 1981 but is seen as one of the most beautiful travel destinations in South America. Belize is a unique vacationing spot in South America because of the fact that it is one of the few countries on the continent that speaks English as a native tongue. But dont let the language fool you, this small country might speak English but it is a cultural blend of Spanish, Mayan, Caribbean, and British culture, which makes it a very interesting place to explore!

If a person were to travel to Belize and did not want to wander very far into the country they could find many things to do in the capital, Belize City. Things like the Museum of Belize, the St. Johns Catherdral, which is the oldest Anglican Church in Central America, and the House of Culture could draw a group of people interested in culture and history. While at the same time the Belize Zoo and Community Baboon Sanctuary located just outside of Belize City could give a taste of the exotic nature found in this small Central American vacation hotspot. But no matter where you go in Belize, a person can always find something to do. Whether it is hunting for the perfect photo of a puma at the Los Roques Archipelago National Park, diving and snorkeling in the Ambergris Caye, or even taking part in the February/March Carnival found in Merida complete with bull fighs, masquerades, street dancing, and parades, there is something for everyone in Belize! (And yes, 709 different ice cream flavors can be found at Coromoto Ice Cream Parlor in Merida!)
