Here is Belize: atolls in the crystal blue, coral nurseries and unspoilt nature

In the youngest and least populated country in Central America, which gained independence from Great Britain in 1981 and has a population of just over 400,000 inhabitants and an area of only 23,000 square kilometres, a trip is spent on adventures in the cayo and atolls pampered by the Caribbean Sea. The mingling or mestizo between cultures and the enthralling music create a relaxed and light-hearted atmosphere. The archaeological sites of the Maya civilisation discovered in the dense forest where they have managed to preserve almost their entire architecture bear witness to a vibrant past. And above all, the Belize Barrier Reef constitutes the second largest coral reef ecosystem in the world with no less than seven protected areas. Here are some places you will never forget.
