Belize – Between the Mayans and Garifunas

by Alex Bruni on 06 01 11

Belize is the second smallest country in Central America, on the Yucatán Peninsula,bordering Mexico and Guatemala. With only 5 million inhabitants it offers a spectacular mixture of cultures, a variety of activities to choose from and a natural diversity that is hard to beat.

Belize, a former British colony (Colony of British Honduras), gained full independence as late as 1981 following 20 years of negotiations between Guatemala and Great Britain regarding border issues. It is said that the first settlement was established by shipwrecked English seamen in 1638.
