Belize

The official language of Belize is English, however in the north Spanish is mostly used, and there is great influence from other languages such as Chinese, Mayan, and Arabic. The mixture between European, Creole and African descent makes Belize a multicultural destination, this is reflected in its traditional dances such as “Hunga-Hunga” and “Wanaragua”, dances from the “Garifuna”, a people product of the mixture of Arawaks , insular Caribs and black African slaves in the Antilles that the English deported from the island of San Vicente to Roatán in 1797. African drums are an essential part of their music, with rhythms such as reggae, brukdown, paranda, and many others that you can enjoy during the tour.

Half of Belize’s territory is made up of tropical jungle, and 80% of it is protected by government authorities, within which you can find animals such as iguanas, toucans, coatis, pumas, among others. Also, if you are looking to dive and snorkel, in Belize you will find the second largest coral reef in the world, which is why it is the perfect destination, with more than 500 species of fish, and 70 types of hard corals. Paradisic beaches and recognized worldwide as “Cayo Largo” await you, so you can live an unparalleled experience.

A combination of Mexican, Caribbean and European food makes the cuisine of Belize something special and unique. The “Garifunas” prepare a delicious cassava bread called “Ereba” which is based on grated cassava, you can also find stalls with tacos, tamales, pozole and many other foods linked to the Mayan culture on every corner. Seafood is also widely enjoyed, accompanied with rice, beans and plantains. Do not miss the opportunity to try the delicious dishes of the rich Belizean food.
