Though many locals also speak Belizean Creole and Spanish, English is the language of choice for business, education, government, and general daily communication. This is due to a long history of British colonial presence beginning in 1638. Today's travelers are drawn to Belize's extraordinary biodiversity. Much of the country is protected by reserves like Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, home to wildlife such as tapirs and toucans. Offshore, the Belize Barrier Reef — the second-largest global reef after the Great Barrier Reef — promises world-class diving and snorkeling. Back on land, adventure awaits at the Chiquibul Cave System, the longest in Central America, while Caracol and Xunantunich offer a glimpse of the country's ancient Maya culture.
