Belize may be part of Central America, but it is a world away from Guatemala City, San Salvador or San José. The entire Atlantic coast of Central America, from Belize to the western tip of Panama, shares an English-speaking Caribbean culture that co-exists uneasily with the bulk of Spanish-speaking Central America.
Belize is unusual in that it has maintained its independence from Guatemala, although sporadic border clashes, the most recent this year, sometimes make that independence precarious.
