Belize - Lonely Planet

With one foot planted in the Central American jungles and the other dipped in the Caribbean Sea, Belize combines the best of both worlds.

Belize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Belize is a country on the eastern coast of Central America. It is the only country in Central America whose official language is English, though Belizean Creole (Kriol) and Spanish are also commonly spoken. Belize is bordered on the north by Mexico, on the south and west by Guatemala, and on the east by the Caribbean Sea. Its mainland is about 290 km (180 mi) long and 110 km (68 mi) wide.

Belize Travel Guide - Nomadic Matt

Sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala is Belize, one of Central America's biggest tourist destinations and one of my favorite countries. Belize's barrier reef draws in scuba and snorkeling enthusiasts from around the world, and many of the country's national parks are a birdwatcher's paradise.

Belize Travel Guide - TravelandLeisure

Belize, the only nation in Central America where English is recognized as the official language, shares its western and northern boarders with Spanish-speaking countries Guatemala and Mexico, respectively. Along its east coast are nothing but sandy beaches and the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Belize - Wikitravel

Belize, [http://www.travelbelize.org/] formerly the colony of British Honduras, is the only country in Central America without a coastline on the Pacific Ocean (only the Caribbean Sea to its east), and the only one in the region with English as its official language. The country is located between Guatemala to the west and south and Mexico to the north.

Belize Travel - Rough Guides

With far less of a language barrier to overcome than elsewhere in Central America, Belize, perched on the isthmus's northeast corner, is the ideal first stop on a tour of the region. And, although it is the most expensive country in Central America, its reliable public transport and numerous hotels and restaurants make it an ideal place to travel independently.

Belize / Guatemala Food Safety, Mexico and Central America Forum - Fodor's

We are planning to travel in Belize and Guatemala this winter. My main concern is food poisoning, as I had very nasty experience about 25 years ago, in another part of the world. Actually, the experience was so bad (it took me many months to recover) that this is the first time when I am thinking of travelling into a developing country again.
