This tiny nation nestled on the Caribbean Sea has it all – and more.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Belize has never been a mainstream tourism spot and that has kept the land unchanged, and the people real. Real people doing real things, not just another tourist trap. The atmosphere is unhurried and friendly. The variety endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although this country is small, it is incredibly diverse. From sugar cane fields to lush tropical rain forest . . . from the Maya Mountains to the Mt Pine Ridge . . . mysterious subterranean caves to soaring Maya pyramids . . . raging rivers to the longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere . . . bustling Belize City to isolated untouched islands . . . Belize has something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

We at Barb\u2019s Belize have been promoting eco tourism for many years. This quote by Mindy Poder, editor of Travel Age West Explorer, reflects our philosophy for creating a sustainable future:   Sustainable tourism maximizes social and economic benefits for the local community, enhances cultural heritage and reduces negative impact to the environment… Choosing an under-the-radar destination (like Belize) can protect traditional livelihoods that may be threatened, and help prevent overcrowding in popular places. Supporting eco-lodges means choosing businesses that employ local people, practice ethical animal welfare, actively conserve biodiversity and avoid the exploitation of natural resources. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”45″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15960″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”45″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
