Belize & Costa Rica in $370s-$420s RT

Belize is kinda like a hipper, more underground Costa Rica. Like Costa Rica before it sold out, maaan.

Sure, it's a lot smaller. But it's also a lot less popular, so you won't have to share the beach with a hundred other yahoos. And it's every bit as gorgeous as its southern neighbor, especially if you take a trip out to the cayes (that's pronounced "keys," by the way).

There's one caveat, though: Belize is a more active destination, so if you want to get the most out of your trip, you'll have to do stuff like snorkel at the barrier reef or explore the Mayan ruins. We're pretty sure you can handle it :-)

P.S. Houston, you guys do have the option of chilling in Costa Rica if you so desire. Don't worry, we won't think you're a poser or anything.
