Belize February Holidays

Belize’s weather is famously temperamental and despite having two distinct seasons (dry and wet), you’ll find regional variations and exceptions to this rule which can make navigating its climate somewhat challenging. Travel during February, however, and you’ll be in with a solid chance of catching Belize’s climate in its best mood. While aquanauts and seasoned snorkellers have been long-time fans of Belize’s world-class barrier reef, the Central American nation is making a name for itself among active adventurers. Sailing, caving, climbing and diving are just a few of the thrill-seeking pursuits that can be woven into your itinerary during Belize February holidays.

If diving into a country’s culture (rather than the ocean) is more your thing, Belize February holidays have plenty to offer in this respect as well. While Guatemala and Mexico may be more well-known for their Mayan ruins, Belize’s Caracol and Lamanai are worthy rivals of Tikal and Chichen Itza. Trek to the top of Caracol’s Caana (Sky Place), which towers 140ft above the forest floor, for panoramic views of the surrounding ruins. Heralded for its fighting ability, the ancient city succeeded at defeating Guatemala in 562 AD. Lamanai (meaning ‘submerged crocodile) is among a minority of Maya sites that have retained their original name and has a similarly extraordinary history, as one of the oldest continuously inhabited archaeological zones in the Maya World.
