Awfully underrated yet overly optimistic, that’s Belize for you. The moment you’ll take a step toward the off-the-beaten-track destinations all around the country, you’ll truly capture the essence and soul of the people. An english speaking “island” surrounded by spanish speakers gives you a general idea of how strong the country is. The Garifuna people, considered to be the real natives of the country, are rooted into a fascinating mix of afro-caribbean traditions, unique in their own way.
