Travelers looking to explore the natural side of Belize have plenty of options. Consider staying at a campground or eco-tourism lodge.

Campgrounds may be a little harder to find than you might expect, but camping is widely allowed. Some of the National Parks and preserve areas allow camping, as do many hotels. In fact, some hotels may have spots set aside especially for campers. Overall, camping is so widely accepted that some travelers even find places to camp in small towns in the countryside. Much of the camping you'll find will be available for tent campers.

Belize is deeply committed to eco-tourism. BETA, the Belize Eco-Tourism Association is associated with the Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA) and encourages government programs that support environmentally-conscious tourism. As a part of BTIA, BETA has the support and cooperation of the Ministry of Tourism and the Environment, the Belize Tourist Board, the Belize Audubon Society, the Belize Zoo, Center for Environmental Studies, and Programme for Belize.

With so much support for eco-tourism, it's easy to find an ecologically-friendly way to tour Belize.
