Synopsis

Discover tropical forests, picture-perfect palm trees, coastal wetlands, piney mountains, endless beaches and beautiful Mayan ruins.

Open Road gives travelers the real Belize, unspoiled by mass tourism, abounding with natural wonders and warm, friendly people. Includes bonus excursion to the renowned Tikal ruins in Guatemala.

Review

South of Mexico, east of Guatemala, with 200 miles of undisturbed Caribbean beach, Belize has coral atolls and a splendid barrier reef, lush rain forests with Mayan temples, scores of cays, and a diverse, multilingual, friendly population. It's a shame how rarely Belize makes the spring break/winter vacation list, but that means tourism hasn't yet left its tacky imprint on the people or the reefs. Paul Glassman's Belize Guide is an excellent escort to the country's culture, activities, hotels, restaurants, and charms. He is knowledgeable about wildlife, plants, Mayan ruins, dive sites, and palm trees swaying in tropical breezes--all you need to do is book a flight.
