It’s a delightfully short journey from North America to Belize, yet vacationers are still going abroad, and given the diversity of experiences visitors can enjoy during their stay in the country, it stands to reason that sojourning in more than one place gives you increased opportunities to see more of the country and its wonders.

Had the iconic pop star Prince been Belizean, there’s a more than likely chance that he would have paid homage to 1981 instead of 1999 when he wrote his classic song, Party Like it’s 1999. After a century of United Kingdom colonization, Belize finally gained its independence that year, saying goodbye to the Brit-imposed name British Honduras and welcoming the name befitting the new nation….
