Belize   (map, info, slideshow)


"Dabbling its toes in the Caribbean Sea, Belize has more in common with its island neighbors than with the fiery volatility of Central America. Its history is thoroughly coup-free. Spanish and British influences remain: the population are English-speaking. Creole and Mestizos ethnic groups dominate, and this tiny country has an atmosphere so very laid-back it's almost comatose."   [-- Lonely Planet Belize]
