Straight Talk

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.

Flights

On the final day of this trip we take a commercial flight on a single-prop plane from Placencia to Belize City. Guests who want to extend their time in Belize are welcome to opt out of the internal flight.

Border Crossings

This trip includes one day of longer shuttle time from Guatemala to Belize, with an international border crossing. Even with the expert facilitation of your Backroads Trip Leaders, border crossings can take time. While patience and a sense of humor are never out of place at international customs, we'll minimize the obstacles and make this border crossing just another stop on the adventure.
