countries, then you must also be wondering about Belize life. And it is
easy to know why. To lead a genuine Belize life, you must know the bit
and pieces of information about the country. As they say, Belize is
does wonder in calming your nerves and easing your blood pressure!

capital city is Belmopan but their largest city is Belize City. Other cities
have interesting names like Crooked Tree, Orange Walk, and Big
Creek. There is also the metropolis of Corozal, Dangriga, Placencia,
Punta Gorda, San Ignacio which is also known as Cayo to Belizean,
and San Pedro which is located on Ambergris Caye.
To get a good idea of Belize’s geography, take note that there are
approximately 8 chief regions in the country. There is Ambergris Caye
which is the large barrier island and there is also Caye Caulker which
is the smaller barrier island. Both of them are located in the north.
Cayo is the central region of Belize; while Toledo is the southern
coastal or inland region. Belize district is the home of the largest city
which has Stann Creek on the south and off it is Placencia, a long
island-like peninsula. Northern Belize has the coastal district of
Corozal and the inland district of Orange walk. All areas provide what
you need to enjoy Belize life.
The currency of Belize is called Belizean Dollar (BZD) and is
approximately worth a half of US Dollar, depending on the inflation. It
comes in denominations of 2 dollars, 5 dollars, 10 dollars, 20 dollars,
50 dollars, and 100 dollars. One Belizean dollar is coins and a 25
centavo coin is called a shilling.
The laid back atmosphere of Belize life actually comes from a unique
blend of nationalities. They have influences from races of Maya, Kriol,
Spain, India, Chinese, Lebanon, and even Mennonites who are
originally of German descent. The official language is English but
there are also a lot of natives who can speak Spanish, Mayan,
Garifuna (Carib) and Creole.

prepared for a bit of coastal flooding, especially in the south.
Spirituality in Belize life is diverse in a way that it will suit many
nationalities. Majority of the citizens are Catholics while a fourth of the
population are Protestant (Pentecostal, Anglican, Seventh - day
Adventist, Mennonite, Methodist, and Jehovah’s Witnesses). Other
religions present are Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.
