It's easy to get around
One of the best aspects of visiting Belize is how much of the country you can see in a short period of time, as well as how simple it is to do so. The country is slightly larger than the state of New Jersey (roughly the size of Israel or Wales) and can be driven across in about a half-day. Even the cayes are easily accessible; flights to San Pedro or Caye Caulker take ten to fifteen minutes, and the boat ride takes less than two hours. The major highways in Belize are easy to navigate and well-maintained, in addition to having manageable distances. Just keep an eye out for speed bumps!
However, there are some areas of Belize that are more difficult or time-consuming to reach but are well worth the effort. The Toledo District of southern Belize has a rich cultural diversity, ancient Maya sites, beaches, rainforest, and more. The Caracol ruins are at the end of a two-hour bumpy dirt road, but they are not to be missed. And the more remote your island, the more likely it is that you will have the entire island to yourself.
