BELIZE, JUNGLE and CARIBBEAN COAST
Belize is tiny and relatively unknown to travelers and backpackers. But this amazing country in Central America probably has the most beautiful islands, the coolest Mayan temples, the largest coral reef and the wildest jungles. Some itineraries include backpacking Belize as a bonus destination, combining it with Mexico or Guatemala. That is a great recommendation, but don't just stick to the most visited island of Caye Caulker. There is so much more to see and do. How about jungle hikes in Cockscomb Park, the Mayan temples at San Ignacio and the bounty beaches of Hopkins? Read all our blogs to prepare yourself the perfect trip!
