    The country’s modern history really begins when Belize, formerly British Honduras, was occupied by the British in 1638–40, with settlements spreading as woodcutting became profitable. By the end of the 18th century, Africans were brought in as slaves, to cut the mahogany. Despite attacks from the Spanish, the settlers remained, although it was not until 1862 that the territory was recognized as a British colony. More info on Belize...

    Travel Tips

    The winter months of the Northern Hemisphere, November through May, attract the most visitors to Belize. Still, many visitors prefer to come during the quieter summer months from June to October.

    Belize in Winter

    Belize has proven to be the choice location for those wanting to escape the harsh winter of the North. Besides the favorable temperature, Belize is also a favorite destination because of the following:

    • Belize is one of the most accessible of all tropical locations by geography and entry requirements.
    • Belize is English speaking, making it easy for you to get around by yourself, with a group, or if you have special needs.
    • This is the dry season in Belize which means that you should have no problem predicting bright, sunny skies during your vacation.

    Belize in Summer

    Belize is also the ideal place for those needing a summer break. Although Belize is a tropical country, the offshore breezes often provide cooler temperatures during the summer months than experienced in many cities to the north. During the summer months it is also true that:

    • Belize receives fewer visitors, which gives you the opportunity to find the privacy and isolation you desire.
    • Although it is the rainy season, showers are sporadic, and short, and followed by clear skies and sunshine.
