A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Belize
Where to Volunteer Abroad in Belize
Located on the northeastern coast of Central America, Belize enjoys the same lush tropical climate that attracts beachcombers and jungle adventurers to the region throughout the year. Its northernmost territory shares a small section of the Yucatan Peninsula with Mexico. The culture is very relaxed and welcoming, and the landscape offers wide expanses of beach and dense tropical forests covering rugged mountain ranges. Here are the best places to volunteer in Belize.
San Ignacio. This bustling cultural-economic hub lies on the banks of the Macal River in central Belize near the border of Guatemala. Here you can explore the ancient Mayan ruins of Caracol, marvel at the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave, and trek through the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. It’s also a popular destination for volunteers who are interested in archaeology, anthropology and cave digging.
Belize City. This formal capital reaches out from Haulover Creek on the coast of Belize. From urban activities to adventurous endeavors, volunteers are in for a treat here. Whether you’re interested in bustling markets or discovering the Mayan city of Altun Ha, you’ll never tire of things to do. The Blue Hole, a sinkhole just off the coast of Belize, calls daredevils to explore its mysterious depths.
Caye Caulker. This limestone coral island is located off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean sea. The tranquil location is accessible only by water taxi or plane, and it’s a popular place for volunteers interested in learning how to be a wilderness first responder. For those interested in conserving sea creatures, go ahead and dive into the depths of the second largest reef in the world — the Belize Barrier Reef!
