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 this trip we occasionally travel by single-engine or turbo-prop plane to reach the exclusive hotels and activities this destination has to offer. We will be flying on both private chartered and scheduled flights with Tropic Air aboard Airvan, Caravan and turbo-prop planes that seat 6–14 passengers.

Border Crossings

This trip includes two international border crossings: from Belize to Guatemala and back again. 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, rest assured that we will minimize the obstacles to make these border crossings just another stop on the adventure.

Shuttle Distances

In order to bring you the full splendor of this region, we spend more time shuttling on this trip than on many other Backroads trips. Our time in the shuttles allows us to experience the incredible variety of ecosystems, scenery and activities that Belize and Guatemala have to offer. Sit back and relax, knowing that someone else is doing the driving, and enjoy the beauty of the journey.
