Thanks for writing this post! We are currently trying to figure out a good 2 week trip and this was super helpful! If we go it will be in high season, so I think we’d book at least most accommodation ahead. Cheers! :)

In reply to Snarky. Good tip, one we have definitely used ourselves as well already.

I love the budget-conscious suggestions. I’m always looking for ways to save money while I’m traveling and love posting about my findings on my website as well! Thank you for sharing.

If you want to fly to Belize cheaper, then fly into Cancun, and take the ADO bus down to Chetumal, and from there a Belize bus to Belize City.

In reply to Gabi. Yup, I think 3 weeks is a good time frame to visit Belize without being rushed. But I have to warn you that parts of Belize will hold you hostage, you may never want to leave. Safe travels, Gabi

Hey guys I’m planning on doing a little bit of backpacking through Belize, I’m a little short on time as I’m trying to visit Belize, Guatemala and El Salvador (maybe Cuba also…) in potentially 2.5 months. How long would you recommend I need to see all the amazing locations/spot in Belize without feeling too rushed? I was thinking 3 weeks?

Thanks,
Gabi

In reply to Angela. Hey Angela, sorry for the late reply! If you are only staying in Belize for a couple of days, I recommend you stay in one location as traveling to and from different areas can take up too much time, though it does not take much time to get from one end of the country to the other. As for activities, it depends on what you like doing or interested in. But personally if I had to say 2, I would say the ATM CAVE and Snorkeling the Barrier Reef (both expensive but totally worth it). Every location has at least one amazing thing to do, unfortunately all the activities are not all in the same spot. But we really enjoyed Caye Caulker (of course it will be more expensive than the inland because it is an island) because we pretty much did nothing but relax, eat a bunch of seafood and kayaked. We stayed at Pause Hostel and the Vista Mar Guesthouse. In both places we stayed in a private room with shared bath (cheaper) and we left all our belongs in the room. Hope this helps Angela and if you have any more questions feel free to ask! Enjoy Belize, it is one of our favorite country in Central America!

In reply to Jazzy. Hey guys! Thanks so much for the info. I will be visiting Belize for the first time with my best friend (both females going alone) in a few weeks so we're kind of nervous but extremely excited. We're currently checking out all of our options.. Did you leave your belongings in the private room? Did you have a private restroom as well? We'll only be staying a couple of days because that's what works for our hectic schedules.. If you were to choose 2 or 3 activities, which ones would you choose? Do you know what city is best to stay in that's close to those activities/tourist sites?

The cover page of our article is of Belize because we took it ourselves… The pintrest one is not ;(… We got it using flicker … So error on our part. We didn’t mislead our readers on purpose, though Belize islands do have gorgeous water as such!

The cover page to your article is NOT a picture of Belize…it is a picture of Trunk Bay, St. John’s in the Virgin Islands…why would you mislead your readers?
