Embrace Adventure and Cultural Immersion with Squads Abroad in Belize!

Written by Marco

On March 6, 2024

Belize is one of Central America’s most beautiful and fascinating countries. Famous for its pristine waters and world renowned scuba diving, Belize is a global tourist destination and one of Latin America’s safest countries. 

Belize is small and yet full of lush forests, marine preserves and some of the world’s most stunning Mayan ruins. The local culture is diverse and offers you the chance to enter into a new world, all while still speaking English. Every Squads Abroad trip to Belize includes cultural activities, enrichment opportunities and impactful service projects to support local schools.

Immerse your students in the rich tapestry of Belizean life

On each Squad Abroad to Belize, students will:

  • Contribute to impactful community projects, making a tangible and real difference while gaining valuable insights into the Belizean culture and challenges the local communities face
  • Be introduced to the secrets of the Belizean Creole language and discover the rhythms and traditions of the Garifuna people as you learn about their art and culture.
  • Travel back in time at the Xunantunich Maya ruins, exploring towering temples and immersing yourselves in the fascinating history of this once-mighty civilization.

Enjoy Belize’s top tourist sites

On every Squads Abroad trip to Belize, your group will get the chance to experience some of Belize’s most exciting enrichment activities, such as exploring the vibrant underwater world of the Belize Barrier Reef with a Snorkel Tour, relaxing on the pristine shores of Hopkins Beach soaking up the sun and Caribbean vibes (or adventuring into the water on a kayak or paddleboard) or making new friends at the Green Iguana Conservation Project.

You and your group will return home not only with stunning photos and thrilling memories, but also with a deeper understanding of Belizean culture, a newfound appreciation for the natural world, valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and adaptability, and the satisfaction of making a positive impact.

Organize a Squad Abroad and make a positive difference! Lead your high school students to Belize and they will return home inspired to continue traveling and being of service to communities at home and abroad.

Contact us today to learn more and embark on a transformative journey that will leave a lasting impact on you and the Belizean people.
