    ADVENTURES Belize, at only 8,867 square miles will never be mistaken for a large country, but within that relatively small area is a world of adventure waiting to be explored. The Placencia Peninsula, situated in southern Belize, is the ideal jumping off point to access the country’s premier attractions both on land and at sea.
