Belize, formerly named British Honduras until 1973, lies on the Caribbean coast of Central America, on the southern end of the Yucatan Peninsula.  The inner coastal waters are shallow and are sheltered by a line of coral reefs, dotted with islets called 'Cayes', which extend almost the entire length of the country.

Today, Belize's population is estimated to be at approximately 275,000. The country is a melting pot of many ethnic groups and over the years has increased due to an influx of many people from other areas of Central America, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean region.

Numerous sites and ruins indicate that for hundreds of years Belize was heavily populated by the Mayas, whose relatively advanced civilization reached its height between A.D. 250 and 900.  Eventually the civilization declined, leaving behind small groups whose descendants still live in Belize and contribute positively to the culturally diverse population.
