It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Belize with us.
Once a city of the Mayans, Lanamai Archaeological Reserve features ruins spanning three millennia, with occupation dating back to the 16th century B.C.E. The most notable structures here include Mask Temple (pictured), Jaguar Temple and High Temple. Copper artifacts found here point to a complex trade system across the southern Mayan lowlands. Organized day boat trips are available to the public, and the site is also accessible by dirt and gravel roads. © Olga Lutz | Dreamstime.com

The largest city in the country, Belize City is considered culturally more Caribbean than Latin American due to its location along the Caribbean Sea. The city features museums like Maritime Museum and Museum of Belize, Baron Bliss Lighthouse, the oldest Anglican church in Central America, restaurants and bars, and more. © Irishka777 | Dreamstime.com
How many places in the world offer cave tubing? This thrilling and unique experience often combines a rainforest hike with a multi-hour tube float through limestone cave systems along the river. Most excursions are offered from Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve. © Yobro10 | Dreamstime.com
You won’t find much fresher tilapia than in Belize. The white fish, known locally as St. Peter’s fish, is central to Belizean cuisine, often fried, blackened or in coconut dishes. The country even hosts a festival, the Crooked Tree Tilapia and Bird Festival (late March or early April), a weekend-long event held in Crooked Tree Village with a cook-off of tilapia dishes. © Aimee Smyre | Dreamstime.com
Four miles from Ambergris Caye is Hol Chan Marine Reserve, renowned for its rich coral formations, nurse sharks and sea turtles. The reserve is accessible only by licensed boat tours, and different zones promise different fun experiences, like snorkeling, shallow diving, and nurse shark and stingray encounters. © Pniesen | Dreamstime.com
