Costa Rica's Turtle Conservation Project was one thing I will never forget! Such an eye opening and amazing experience. The IHQV program is an amazing way to explore the world in a feasible way.

There are undoubtedly arrays of amazing cities in which to spend perfect Belize gap years, but there are three in particular that will make the memories more memorable. Don’t forget your sunscreen, because these Belizean hot spots are the best-of-the-best. You betta be-lize it!

San Ignacio, Belize, located in the Cayo District of Western Belize, is truly the perfect spot for temple climbing—that is, if you’re brave enough to take the climb! They offer views that are unforgettable, so you won’t want to miss out on this opportunity. Markets fill the streets of San Ignacio, offering fresh foods galore, and making it convenient for gappers to indulge in Belizean delicacies. To top it off, San Ignacio provides its locals and travelers with adventurous activities all around the town.

Gap year programs in Belize would be well-spent in Ambergris Caye; if you’re looking to spend your gap year right on the ocean, this island is for you. Gappers love the idea of waking up in the morning to go snorkeling or just sticking their toes in the salty, teal waters. This is beach life at its finest, and it’s right in the Eastern area of Belize.

Belmopan, the capital of Belize, although smaller than what you might expect, is bursting with historical buildings, food stalls, and has a personality all of its own. This vibrant city will leave your soul filled with the wonders of wildlifep, and give you a look at the Mayan roots of Belize.
