Open Road’s Best of Belize

Best of Belize takes readers to tropical beaches, Mayan ruins, and pristine wildlife

Open Road's Best of Belize 3E gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, and one-week trips to any part of Belize. Only the best is included, with great ideas for eco-touring in the interior Maya Mountains and Mountain Pine Ridge, exploring the wilds in the Crooked Tree sanctuary, the ruins at Altun Ha and Xunantunich (and we also include an excursion to Tikal across the border in Guatemala ), and hanging out for some serious R&R along the beautiful beaches and resorts of the Placencia Peninsula. Belize may be best known for its diving, and we give readers the inside word on staying at and diving off the Cayes. Great hotels and restaurants are included for all price levels. There is also a very useful Spanish-English glossary of useful phrases and words.

We don't weigh readers down with tons of useless information - we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions of the best Belize has to offer.
