Belize's tiny capital — a jungle gateway, rainforest wildlife, and one of the world's smallest capitals.
Belmopan is Belize's capital — one of the world's newest capitals (founded 1970). The city is small and calm, but surrounded by Belize's finest nature: Chiquibul rainforest, Maya ruins, and the Belize River. Relocated from Belize City after hurricane damage.
