About Belize

Nestled on the northeastern coast of Central America, Belize spans a modest 8,867 square miles, serving as a friendly neighbor to Mexico and Guatemala. With a shared ancient Mayan history and common ethnic ties to Central America, Belize has been imbued with a lively Caribbean spirit, thanks to the salty air wafting in from the nearby Caribbean Sea. This vibrant essence is evident in the country’s distinctive Colonial/Caribbean-style architecture, coconut-infused cuisine, pristine white beaches, laid-back ambiance, and the presence of English and Creole dialects.

Notably, Belize stands out as the only Central American nation where English is the primary language. Housing a peaceful population of around 270,000 within a secure political environment, Belize thrives as a premier ecotourism destination, enriched by a tapestry of diverse cultures.

Our Location – Sarteneja Village

Derived from the Mayan term “Tzaten-a-ha,” translating to “give me the water,” Sarteneja earned its name from the presence of 13 Mayan wells in the region. Carved into limestone bedrock, these wells have been a vital source of potable water. Beyond its scenic charm as a fishing village, Sarteneja holds the distinction of being the sole mainland location in Belize where you can witness the sunset over the water.

Initially settled by the Maya as a key trading hub, Sarteneja boasts a rich history dating back to 600 BC to AD 1200. Evidence of this period, including gold, copper, and shells, continues to surface in the area. During the mid-19th century, Mexican refugees from the Yucatán Caste Wars were drawn to Sarteneja for its abundant drinking water, marking another chapter in its diverse history. Despite facing the brunt of Hurricane Janet in 1955, the village persevered, gaining recognition for its skilled boat builders and adept free-diving lobster and conch fishers.
