It is the only country that embraces the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is a Central American country and has Guatemala (west) and Mexico (north) as its neighbors. The official language in Belize is English, so it is a very tourist-friendly place. Belize Guide: Understanding the Culture Belize is similar to other British colony islands in terms of culture. The people from Belize are Creole and Afro-Caribbean decent. There are also native Mayan people whose language is Spanish (which is spoken as a second language in most parts of Belize). There was a bloody conflict in the 80s which affected Central America. Belize has not been exempted from the business of drug trade and poverty common in the region, however, it has now truly becoming a tourist destination and is very safe to visit here. The locals are very proud of their country and they are very hospitable to visitors. Belize Guide: Why Tourists Visit
