The fourth edition of Explore Belize by Harry S. Pariser is now available.

The only English-speaking country in Central America, Belize is home to 500 species of birds, innumerable Maya ruins, as well as the world's second largest barrier reef. Over 80% of the land remains covered with primeval forest and 30% has been set aside as national parks/preserves. This comprehensive 400-page volume guides you to the nation's best places from coral reefs to nature lodges to archaeological sites.
