Belize

Belize sits where the Caribbean Sea meets the dense interior of Central America, its narrow coastal plain giving way abruptly to jungle, Maya ruins, and limestone cave systems. The country is small — smaller than most people expect — and its rhythms are shaped equally by the reef offshore and the forest within.

About Belize

Overview

Belize borders Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the west and south, with a Caribbean coastline to the east. Belmopan is the capital, though Belize City remains the commercial hub. English is the official language, an unusual distinction in Central America. The Belize dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed two-to-one rate. Culture blends Creole, Garifuna, Maya, Mestizo, and Mennonite communities in a population that punches above its weight in diversity.
