Location and Size

 

Belize is slightly smaller than Wales in the United Kingdom or the US state of Massachusetts. It shares borders with Mexico to the North, Guatemala to the West and South and the Caribbean Sea on the East.

Belize has an above average telecommunications system even though it is one of the best in the region. It boasts a modern fiber-optics network plus fax, paging, cellular and email capabilities. Internet access is two to three times the US rate in cost. The country code (501) can be direct dialed around the world.Belize Location in Central America : Licensed from Wikimedia Commons user Vardion (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Vardion)
