Study Abroad Programs in Punta Gorda, Belize

This experience has been a wonderful introduction to Belize. The individuals we met and the presentations we heard were passionate about Belize and patient with us to share their experiences and culture with us. And our guides were wonderful and kind.

Our experience with Loop Abroad/CELA was so impactful. The staff made our experience an easy one, being flexible and creative in providing the best possible experience for what was (for many of our students) their first time in a new country.

Our Belize trip provided our university students an incredible cultural experience. The hospitality, culture, conversations, and community visits were hands down one of a kind. We loved our time and I am excited to return.

The trip was wonderful. The staff are incredibly informative and made the experience local and informative. They were always so helpful and really brought the energy everytime we worked with them. I'm so grateful to have had them on the trip.

Before this trip I didn't know about education abroad. Everything from the places to the people was amazing! I feel so prepared for my graduate school and possible work abroad. This experience will stay with me forever.

I had no idea how much Belize had to offer. I've learned so much and I never had to worry about my safety. They were so good at being flexible when the unexpected came. If you get the chance, sign up with CELA Belize

This was my first time studying abroad and I felt so safe and cared for. I could tell that everyone cared about my education and my love for this country. Belize is beautiful and changed my perspective of the world.

CELA provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. As a second generation Carribean myself, this trip gave me the chance to explore, compare, and contrast my own experience with those of the indigenous peoples. Through cultural exploration, I was able to leave with a greater understanding of our relation to the land, and food and community as pedagogy. This trip changed my life.

This trip was honestly so eye-opening. I got to see and experience things I never imagined. I made an amazing group of friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore different cultures.

This study abroad program was truly amazing. The staff was great which made the experience so much better and welcoming. I love the connections I made with the people who were with me on this trip and how we all were able to learn and see things from first hand. I loved how we were able to see and talk to people who were from here and gave us great information and were very welcoming toward us.

I am so happy I did a study abroad program. I've never been out of the country before, but this program did a fantastic job injuring I was safe and enjoying myself. I 100% would do this again and recommend it to anyone who is thinking about studying abroad.

This has been an amazing experience. I truly enjoyed Belize and the culture. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn and forge strong bonds. It was a great opportunity that I'll always appreciate.

This program was extremely educational. I was enlighted on the diverse cultures and history of Belize. It has also encouraged me to start practicing Spanish again. It's left a huge impression on me. Thank you, Belize!

This is an awesome opportunity for me to embrace more cultural facets of life. I learned so much about the people and cultures. Belize was great. I loved it so much! Can't wait to come back. Thank you, CELA Belize!

It was an experience a wide variety of majors can benefit from. I learned so much about different cultues and their histories. Definitely an eye opener. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything ever.

This was life changing, even as a chaperone. I never pictured myself enjoying a tropical location, but I fell in love with the people, the culture, and the atmosphere. I didn't want it to end. I found myself saying "I can't believe I'm experiencing this." The staff also made the trip unforgettable. Thank you for making my trip magical!

The trip was a well rounded mix of curriculum, activites, and fun. All staff made us feel safe, comfortable, and satisfied. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to study abroad for a short period of time. I feel I learned more about economy, politics, and Central American culture.

I had a fantastic time on this trip. I felt like it offered everything from cultural experiences to relaxation. The staff was super helpful and kind and were able to always provide help if we needed it. I would definitely recomment the trip to anyone thinking about doing study abroad.

I love that we are exploring Belize with locals to the area. I have traveled with other tour companies and the guides are never local to the area. We were able to explore two local swimmiong spots thanks to having them with us.

I learned a lot about the cultural aspect of Belize and how many different backgrounds and blends of people are here. They have amazing cuisine and I would love to recreate the dishes. The staff on this trip made such an amazing impact on me, as well as the people on the island. Best place ever!
