A Belize Maya Site
Once the mighty heartland of the powerful Maya civilization, Belize is home to more ancient Maya sites than anywhere else on the planet. Visitors can explore Altun Ha (which appears on the logo of Belikin Beer), the vast ruins of Xunantunich and Caracol that once battled for supremacy of the empire, and Cahal Pech, a cliffside community built exclusively for Maya nobles.
A Belize Ceremonial Cave
Huge limestone formations across Belize are home to thousands of caves, including vast subterranean labyrinths once used by the ancient Maya to conduct some of their most sacred ceremonies. Top attractions include floating for miles down an underground river (called "cave tubing") at Barton Creek Cave or exploring the depths of
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave, home to dozens of skeletons of former sacrificial victims.

Belize is a paradise for beach lovers, including the islands of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, the
