Belize is home to the world’s second largest barrier reef, thanks to decades of work to protect this incredible marine environment.
In 2017, offshore oil exploration was banned, resulting in the reef receiving UNESCO World Heritage Status 👏 pic.twitter.com/0r1uKRYT63

It was a hasty replacement for a visit to another chocolate farm that was cancelled after local villagers protested over a land dispute and “colonialism”
The couple began their tour of the chocolate production at the firm’s 10-acre farm, one of a number of plots they cultivate, and were shown the cocoa trees laden with fruit, with Kate asking Narcisio Saqui, brother of Julio, "Do you harvest them all year round?"
Narcisio took the couple out of the blistering sun and sat them down under a marquee and told them about the anti-oxidants and other important properties of cocoa and the duke exclaimed: "Are you saying chocolate is good for us?”
Speaking about the importance of the bean Mr Sarqui added: "It became currency in those days and was traded as cash - worth more than gold."
The Duchess tried her hand at grinding nibs, broken-up made cocoa beans, backbreaking work traditionally performed by the women in rural communities during their visit to the Che ‘il chocolate farm
When he took a club and broke open a cocoa pod, filled with white gooey seeds which need to be fermented, dried, roasted and ground to make chocolate - William looked surprised and said: "That's not what I expected at all".
As Kate watched her husband pounding away with a mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock she said:“The smell of the chocolate is amazing.”
William even joked about giving up his day job as a working royal, asking Julio Saqui owner of the family run chocolate firm“Do you take apprentices? Can I come and work for you it’s my kind of thing.”
The couple’s eyes lit up when they saw chocolate fountains – dipping tortilla chips into the brown sticky liquid – and they tried hot chocolate made from the organic farm with Kate confessing: “I think our children will be very jealous.”
The Saqui family are from Belize's Maya community where the cocoa bean is revered and has been an integral part of their culture for thousands of years.
It was served to royalty in centuries past and at one point was worth more than gold to the Maya people who still serve it to special guests.

The guide at the cacao farm offered a detailed explanation and the process of how cacao beans are extracted from the pods and then fermented and finally dried before they are ready to be processed into chocolate

Using a large stick, the guide showed them how to successfully crack the cocoa pod in half and said: 'This is how it's done'. As the royal couple watched, Kate said: 'You make it look so easy' and William added: 'If I did that, I'd lose a finger!'

William, 39, gave a little shimmy after they were treated to a welcome dance in Hopkins, known as the country's happiest village.
But it was Kate, who was first onto the dancefloor, cutting shapes with nine local school children from the Garifuna Cultural Centre.
William watched on as Kate stole the show before he began dancing with local organiser Laura Cacho.
They were soon holding hands and gyrating to the music as locals screamed in delight.
The royal couple were treated to dancing and food by the local Garifuna community on the Caribbean coast.
They were offered a plantain coconut broth called Hudutu and a sweet sava porridge called Sahau with Belizian celebrity chef Sean Kuylen.
Mamma G, also known as Joan Gloria, pastor of the National Garifuna Council, helped provide the dancing children, and said: "We welcome them both. It is an honour. We welcome everybody.
"We are the happiest village in Belize. Nobody who comes here is sad.
"We are about love, respect and welcoming people with open arms."
Villagers welcomed the royal visit as a boon for the tourism industry. Casper Castille, 22, said: “This is a tremendous opportunity for us. This is an eye-opener for the rest of the world.”
Theroyal couple also planted a Yellow Copperpod tree in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee,
