North America
Belize
The only English-speaking country in Central America — the world's second-largest barrier reef stretches its full length, the iconic 124m-deep Great Blue Hole anchors the offshore atolls, and ancient Maya ruins (Caracol, Xunantunich, Lamanai) rise from inland jungle. Add laid-back Caye Caulker and the world-class diving of Ambergris Caye, and you have a country that's pure Caribbean adventure.

Belize
Belize
The only English-speaking country in Central America — Caribbean coast on one side, Guatemalan jungle on the other, the world's second-largest barrier reef just offshore. The 124m-deep Great Blue Hole anchors the offshore atolls and decorates the country's banknotes; Ambergris Caye is the model for Madonna's "La Isla Bonita"; tiny car-free Caye Caulker takes the "Go Slow" mantra so seriously that they painted it on signs. Inland, the ancient Maya pyramids of Caracol, Xunantunich, and Lamanai rise from jungle reserves, and Actun Tunichil Muknal cave still holds skeletal sacrifices from a thousand years ago. English-speaking, BZD pegged 2:1 with USD, and one of the least-visited adventure paradises in the Caribbean.
