Enjoy fascinating cultures, legendary sealife and laidback beaches in Belize

Belize is a wonderfully diverse and interesting place to visit. Despite its small size there are many different landscapes, peoples and nature to be encountered here.

Only 300,000 people live in the country giving the entire place a laid back ‘small town’ easy going nature. At the peak of the Mayan civilisation it’s estimated that as many as two million Mayans lived here. Their history is everywhere with many sites discovered and many more laying hidden in the rainforest.

Belize is also home to the largest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere allowing some excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities, a highlight for anyone on a luxury holiday in Belize in the warm Caribbean waters.

Our luxury Belize tours can include as much or as little as you like. Jacada Travel can help you to explore this welcoming and varied country, assisted by our enthusiastic local guides.

We can plan every step of your trip so you can enjoy the tremendous adventure and fantastic sights of Belize knowing that Jacada Travel are taking care of all the details. And of course, we’ll ensure that you stay in the very best hotels along the way.

Belize is more of a dynamic country than most people know, with a mixture of Kriol, Garifuna and Mayan heritage. The wildlife and birdlife are abundant, being home to both the Jaguar and the World’s second largest barrier reef. From visiting ancient archaeological sites to kayaking on rivers surrounded by thick rainforests, and diving amongst coral reefs to soaking up the sun on Caribbean beaches: Belize makes for both an easy and unusual trip.
