Tucked under the southeast border of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is bounded by Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the south and west. A land rich in natural beauty, this small country supports tropical forests, numerous rivers, an expansive coastline with hundreds of offshore islands, mountain ranges, low-lying savannas, and none of the active volcanoes that threaten the rest of Central America. Formerly known as British Honduras, Belize was the last Central American country to gain independence. In 1981 it ceased to be a colony of the United Kingdom.
