Transportation

When traveling within Belize's interior the least expensive way to get around is by bus, making virtually every town and village accessible from Belize City. Buses between smaller towns and villages are less frequent but offer at least a regular daily stop. The longest bus ride between Belize City and Punta Gorda averages out to about US$11. Many of the national parks and Mayan sites are located along the main highways and it is usually possible to make a stop and get back on a later bus. Be sure to talk with the conductor and/or personnel at Visitor Information centers located in most towns to make these arrangements.

When moving around between the cayes and the coast, boats are the most economical way to go. For short distances within cities and towns taxis are relatively inexpensive and rarely go above US$2.50 a fare.
