Belize is such a beautiful and up-coming country for people to come and visit. Its beautiful beaches, awesome snorkeling, and relatively cheap prices make it the perfect travel destination for people looking for a tropical adventure. The Mayan civilization spread throughout Belize all the way dating back to 1500 B.C.. Europeans began to establish colonies in the 1600's and Belize didn't get their full independence till 1981. Every city we went to within Belize, we were welcomed with open arms and the local Belizean people were such a joy to to be around and talk with.
