As Condé Nast Traveler highlights some of the most colorful places in the world in this recent article, we want to shine an extra spotlight on what makes Belize’s Great Blue Hole listed just so special. The Great Blue Hole is a natural phenomenon and the only blue hole visible from space. Not to mention, it’s a 1,000-foot-wide and 400-foot-deep near perfectly circle sinkhole that’s also one of the seven composite sites of Belize’s UNESCO Site, the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (BBRRS). Its aerial perspective is absolutely stunning, with a ring of coral mimicking land and the deep blue of its center contrasting hues of blue. No wonder it’s named one of the most colorful places in the world by CNT!
