Work in South/Central America

Does anybody out there know anything about the job prospects of a pilot with very minimum hours in South/Central America?
I've just got CPL and MECIR in Australia, with 250 hours, and seeking for an opportunity out there. How is the licence conversion and obtaining a work permit? I speak very basic Spanish, and fluent in Eng and Japanese. Can anyone point me into some direction?

Sadly, Belize is the only country where you can get a job with an "indiginous" company. Tropic Air and Maya Island Air are the two companies to look at. K&K Aircraft, a U.S. company, does hire foreign pilots (U.S. and others) for their government contract work in Mexico, Panama and Jamaica.
