BELIZE
Belize sits between rainforest interior and Caribbean coastline — compact, humid and geographically strategic. Overex travels here for jungle corridors and coastal transition zones linking Central America’s overland routes. This is not mountainous terrain. This is tropical density — flat, forested and maritime-facing.
