Archaeologists estimate that 1 to 2 million Mayans lived at their peak within the borders of present day Belize.

Mighty Maya cities such as Caracol, Xunantunich and Lamanai dotted the landscape, with small agricultural communities farming the land.

During the 1840's, Great Britain declared Belize to be the colony of British Honduras.

Development of Belize became more organized and multi ethnic through a series of cultural changes.

In 1973, the colony's name was changed from British Honduras to Belize and on September 21, 1981, Belize's Independence was declared.

Although Belize is a pretty tiny country, it has a remarkable range of geography. The Great Maya Barrier Reef runs alongside Belize's coast creating hundreds of small islands or cayes (keys) and offshore atolls, they are perfect for diving or snorkelling.

From the middle of the country, stretching southwest into Guatemala and southeast to the coast are the Maya Mountains, a tropical forest that is home to hundreds of different species.

The northern districts include Corazol, flat terrain eventually turning into the forested hills and the wild tropical jungle of Orange Walk. This is agricultural country.

The Belize district is home to the Northern Cayes. These include Caye Caulker which has a laid back atmosphere. These cayes are famous for their diving and snorkeling.

Caye Caulker is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea. The island measures about 5 miles (8.0 km) (north to south) by less than 1 mile (1.6 km) (east to west) in total. Caye Caulker island is splitted in half and the channel in between is called "the Split"). The southern part is developed with restaurants, shops, hotels, while the northern part is almost wild.
