The Mystique of the Maya
|
|
|
|
Belize
is blessed with an outstanding archaeological heritage of Maya
temples and palaces. It is known that the Maya occupation began as
early as 1500 B.C., and although it began its decline in 900 A.D., some
Maya cultural centers continued to be occupied until contact with the
Spanish in the 1500's.
|
|
 |
|
During the classic period (250 A.D. to
900
A.D.), the population of Belize exceeded well over one million people,
and it is believed that Belize was the heart of the Maya civilization
at that time. Although large Maya cultural centers no longer exist,
there is still a significant Maya population residing within many small
villages.

Belize's
natural
history has always been its most precious resource, and therefore, it
has become a virtual paradise for botanists, herpetologists,
ichthyologists, mammalogists, ornithologists, and zoologists.
|
|
 |
|
With the
support of numerous environmentally conscious organizations such as,
the Audubon Society, the Smithsonian Institute, the World Wildlife
Fund, and many zoological societies, Belize has become an
internationally recognized leader in preservation and conservation.

Marvels of the Sea
|
|
|
|
Belize
is well publicized
for possessing the second longest barrier reef in the world, as well as
three major offshore atolls. In addition to the aforementioned, Belize
possesses numerous mangrove systems both offshore and along the coast,
thus creating a tremendous wetlands environment in which birds, fishes,
mammals, and reptiles can propagate.

|
 |
|
With such a
significant marine ecosystem, scuba divers,
marine
biologists, and sport fishermen have long recognized the importance of
Belize, and it has become a favorite destination for them.
