Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, the exotic country of Belize offers something for everyone. With its location so close to the United States, it's amazing the people of Belize aren't phased by the chaos and frantic lifestyle typically associated with the U.S. In fact, Belize is so laid-back, it's hard not to relax in this eco-friendly paradise. Almost half the country has been preserved as nature parks and reserves and if that doesn't provide a certain level of zen, the 174 miles of coastline and pristine beaches certainly will.
U.S. travelers booking flights to Belize will likely have to transfer planes in one of the closer cities such as Houston or Miami. Belize does have its own local airline so travelers booking Belize flights and needing a transfer will likely be placed on a local Belize charter flight. No matter where you fly in from, travelers booking Belize flights should pack extra scuba-diving and snorkeling gear. This tiny country is famous for its underwater reefs and caves. Take a deep breath and plan a relaxing vacation to Belize.
