Belize is a small country and has only about 327,000 inhabitants, of which about 14,000 live in the capital Belmopan.

Belize is also a diving and beach paradise. Off the coast is the world’s second largest coral reef with hundreds of small coral islands, the so-called “cayes”. The Barrier Reef stretches from Cancún in Mexico to Honduras. In addition, 3 of the 4 atolls in the Caribbean belong to Belize, including the world-famous Blue Hole.
