Tucked away in Central America, Belize (the country formerly referred to as the British Honduras) is a small country the size of New Jersey and the population of Tulsa, Oklahoma with the natural beauty that can hang with any country in the world. It's small size and population belies the fact that the country sits along one of the most biodiverse regions in the world (on the coast, it hosts the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world; inland, it contains an extensive subterranean cave/river system and lush, thriving jungles); it contains a treasure trove of rich Mayan history and archaeological sites; and it beguiles its visitors with some of the most eco-conscious accommodations to relax after a day spent in adventure or exploration. If you are going to Belize and spending a few days in its jungle, we hope our recommendations help complete your trip!
One of the quintessential experiences of traveling within the United States is to partake in an iconic road trip. Driving the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) is one of the most picturesque drives in the world and in this itinerary we focus on the stretch between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is a drive for the "unplugged" as you will see first-hand why the territory of "Alta California" was once the crown jewel of New Spain and why California has always remained a muse for dreamers, naturalists, and artists in American lore.
