Belize, on Central America's Caribbean coast, is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, from the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest in the world, to its dense jungles teeming with wildlife. English-speaking Belize has a rich cultural mix, with influences from Maya, Garifuna, Mestizo, and Creole communities. Its economy heavily relies on tourism, agriculture, and offshore services. The capital, Belmopan, is one of the smallest capital cities in the world, established after Hurricane Hattie devastated the former capital, Belize City.
