How do most people define the heartbeat of a nation? By identifying cultural traditions, identities, and aspirations—but perhaps the most meaningful aspect of a country’s heartbeat is forged through shared experiences of history, social movements, and recognition that a country’s heartbeat also encompasses the lives of everyday people who feel connected to their homeland.
Given this fact, you needn’t go far to find the best example of a nation’s heartbeat in the Western Hemisphere: A visit to Belize is your chance to experience the essence of this unique society. Unlike neighboring nations, Belize’s history is more exciting, diverse, and eclectic, borne of migration from so many other cultures.

Among the most significant cultural groups are the Creole, Mestizo, and Garifuna, each contributing unique traditions, language, music, and cuisine that shape the vibrant identity of Belize.
