Exploring inland Belize was on my list simply because it wasn't on everyone else's; while researching the interior of the country, I felt this region somewhat underrated considering its diversity of activities and natural attractions. Turns out I was right; inland Belize forms the crux of what makes the country so unique. I found it more appealing than the acclaimed Cayes and the glorious big Blue Hole.

With beautiful beaches, amazing geographical formations, and fantastic shopping, … [Read more...]
