FAMILY VACATION TO BELIZE
SHARED BY LUCIE
7 NIGHTS/2 STOPS
An eco-friendly destination that combines beach and jungle life
They were attracted to Belize because they had heard that it is an eco friendly country, it’s an easy flight from New York and it combines beaches and jungle sites. They didn’t want to travel long distances from one place to another. In Belize you can travel from the seaside to the Guatemalan border in only 3 hours. Belize is also known for its incredible coral reef, one of the largest in the world after Australia. A paradise for both snorkelers and divers. All these assets made Belize a perfect destination option for a one-week trip during the cold winter months in Europe and North America. Their budget for the whole trip was around $ 2430 per person for 7 nights (excluded food).
