Belize is a small country located in Central America, bordered by Mexico and Guatemala. Its total land area is 8,867 square miles, making it the second smallest country in Central America after El Salvador. Belize has a diverse landscape with low-lying coastal plains and mountainous regions in the interior.

These mountains are covered with lush green rainforests filled with wildlife. To the north of these mountains lie two major rivers: the Belize River and New River.
