Explore Belize

Central America's iconoclast, Belize remains its only true frontier nation. Dense rainforest, pine groves, sugarcane fields, and beautiful offshore islands are part of what Belize is about. Friendly, English-speaking multicultural citizens is yet another. The nation remains a paradise for snorkelers, divers, naturalists and outdoor adventurers. Formerly British Honduras, Belize is situated between Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala's Caribbean Coast. Some 80% of the verdant land remains covered with primeval forest, and 30% has been set aside as national parks and reserves. Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, jaguars, and tapirs roam through the forests while 500 species of birds, including toucans and scarlet macaws, fly overhead. Belize may be best known for its extensive barrier reef, the world's second largest, which attracts snorkelers and divers from all over the planet. Countless Maya ruins are scattered through the jungles, and a special section covers the monumental ruins of Tikal and other ruins and sights in neighboring Guatemala.

Explore The Dominican Republic

Lively merengue and haunting Spanish ruins. The Caribbean's lowest point and its highest mountain peak. Waterfalls, spectacular beaches, natural parks, multicolored tropical birds, rolling fields of sugarcane, baseball, and savory food. These are but a few of things the Dominican Republic has to offer. A cultural melange, the nation occupies the eastern half of Hispaniola, the largest island in the Caribbean. Long a favorite among US visitors--hundreds of thousands visit annually--the Dominican Republic offers some of the lowest food and accommodation prices in the Caribbean along with some of its friendliest inhabitants.

While Old Santo Domingo has been restored to its colonial grandeur, many of the nation's thousands of miles of palm-lined beaches remain pristine and sedate. The capital's frantic pace contrasts favorably with the resort town of Puerto Plata, Sosþa's European sophistication, the Samana Peninsula's sprawling jungle, and deserted beaches. The more adventurous will want to climb Pico Duarte or visit the other national parks, all of which are described in detail in this comprehensive guide
