    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Belize, a country so diverse in history that its cuisine is like taking a trip back in time.  The county may not be home to many world-renowned dishes or any Michelin starred restaurants just yet, but traveling through Belize for a week or more will undoubtedly leave you longing for more of the country&#8217;s best dishes.  Belizeans are very proud of their culture and that love comes through in their food.  If you have not visited Belize and sampled some of their native cuisine, now is definitely the time!  </p>
<h2>Belize&#8217;s Cultural Diversity </h2>
<p>Belizean cuisine is influenced by so many ethnicities and their respective foods that it is one of the more misunderstood and underappreciated cuisines.  With influences including Maya and Mestizo, Creole (Kriol), Garifuna, Mexican, and more, <a href="http://www.travelbelize.org/about-belize/food" target="_blank">Belizean cuisine</a> is varied and pays homage to a variety of historical favorites.</p>
<p>Unlike some places, many Belizean specialties can be found throughout the entire country. As a unique departure from some other popular destinations, many recommended &#8220;tourist restaurants&#8221; are frequented by locals, often times proving to be some of the best spots to sample Belizean cuisine. </p>
<p>Here is a brief roundup of some of Belize&#8217;s more well-known dishes.  </p>
<h3>Fry Jacks</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Fry-Jacks.png" alt="" title="Fry Jacks" width="600" height="384" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-454" /><br />
Much like a tortilla is to Mexican cuisine, the fry jack is to Belizean cuisine – at least at breakfast. A fry jack is a staple in Belizean cooking, typically consumed during the morning meal. It is nothing more than a simple fried piece of dough, often accompanied by jam or honey, or even beans and eggs. Fry jacks are similar to beignets made popular in New Orleans or sopapillas you find in Mexico.  </p>
<p>Fry Jacks are available all throughout Belize, and you can find them on nearly every breakfast menu at restaurants and bakeries.  Some places offer them as a side to a larger entrée, or bakeries may sell them stuffed as a meal in itself.  </p>
<h3>Johnny Cakes</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Johnny-Cakes.png" alt="" title="Johnny Cakes" width="600" height="567" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-457" /><br />
Another breakfast staple is the Johnny Cake, which is also easily found throughout Belize.  These have a long history in Native American and some Caribbean cultures and are often referred to as Journey Cakes.  They were typically made with cornmeal and kept for long periods of time, making them an ideal travel food.  </p>
<p>The Johnny Cakes found in Belize are almost always made with flour and may include coconut milk in the recipe.  They tend to be a heavy, dense type of bread and are commonly eaten as a breakfast sandwich, with deli meat and cheese inside.  </p>
<h3>Lobster</h3>
<p> <img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Lobster.jpg" alt="" title="Lobster" width="600" height="425" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-458" /><br />
With its coastal location, Belize is renowned for its lobster.  Lobster season kicks off around mid-June with a big <a href="http://www.ambergristo" target="_blank">Lobsterfest celebration</a>, and the season runs until approximately Valentine&#8217;s Day.  You can find just about anything made with lobster during season, but the most popular items include ceviche, lobster burritos, grilled lobster tails, and more. </p>
<p>The best places to find good lobster include Ambergris Caye, <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/caye-caulker" target="_blank">Caye Caulker</a>, and <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/placencia" target="_blank">Placencia</a>, not coincidentally the three spots that feature Lobsterfest celebrations. </p>
<h3>Conch Fritters</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Conch-Fritters.png" alt="" title="Conch Fritters" width="600" height="393" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-453" /><br />
Conch Fritters are probably the country&#8217;s most popular appetizer, especially by tourist standards.  These are especially tasty on the coastal regions and the cayes.  A conch fritter is chopped conch meat that is deep-fried in a flour batter. They are made into crispy balls and served with a special dipping sauce.  </p>
<p>As conch fritters are more casual fare, it is quite common to see them on most bar and starter menus around the country.  </p>
<h3>Stew Chicken, Rice and Beans</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Stewed-Chicken-with-Rice-and-Beans-.png" alt="" title="Stewed Chicken with Rice and Beans" width="600" height="539" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-460" /><br />
One of the most common main dishes is stew chicken.  It&#8217;s a Kriol (Creole) based recipe that includes a wide range of spices and recado rojo, made from annatto seed or achiote.   While stew fish is often also an option, stew chicken is more commonly seen and the one many consider the closest thing to a national dish in Belize.  </p>
<p>Rice and beans is another Belizean staple, which is an accompaniment to most main dishes around the country.  When termed &#8220;Rice and Beans&#8221;, they are cooked (sometimes in coconut milk) and served together.   When you find &#8220;Beans and Rice&#8221; on a menu, you should assume they are cooked and served separately.  </p>
<h3>Hudut</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Hudut-from-Chaa-Creek.jpg" alt="" title="Hudut from Chaa Creek" width="600" height="419" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" /><br />
Hudut is a local Garifuna specialty that is definitely worth a try if you have the opportunity.  It is a fish stew, or whole fish presentation, served in a coconut-milk broth. Hudut is typically accompanied by fried green plantains that are most often mashed by hand using a large mortar and pestle. </p>
<p>If you are hoping to try Hudut, look for it in parts of Belize with Garifuna, or Garinagu (the proper term for people of Garifuna culture) populations, like Dangriga or Hopkins.</p>
<h3>Gibnut</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Gibnut.jpg" alt="" title="Gibnut" width="600" height="488" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-455" /><br />
For more adventurous eaters, seek out the gibnut, which is often called &#8220;The Queen&#8217;s Rat&#8221; or &#8220;The Royal Rat&#8221; because it was once served to Queen Elizabeth, making for interesting headlines back in London.  The gibnut is a large rodent, with many claiming its taste is quite similar to rabbit. </p>
<p>Gibnut is not necessarily readily available on regular restaurant menus, especially in places that may cater more to tourists.  Just ask around and most locals can tell you which places in the area would be most likely to serve gibnut.  </p>
<h3>Ceviche</h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Ceviche.jpg" alt="" title="Ceviche" width="600" height="435" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-452" /><br />
While lobster warrants its own mention as a key Belizean food, so does ceviche.  Especially on Ambergris Caye, you could spend days eating nothing other than ceviche up and down the island.  If you have not tried it, ceviche is a cold dish with various types of seafood &#8220;cooked&#8221; in lime juice.  Often sliced or diced onions, tomatoes, and sometimes olives are included.  Most common types of ceviche found in Belize include shrimp, octopus, conch, lobster, or a combination.  A less common type is horse conch, which is worth a try if available.  </p>
<h3>Cow Foot Soup or PigTail </h3>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/04/Pigtail.jpg" alt="" title="Pigtail" width="600" height="420" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-459" /><br />
Seeking a little more culinary adventure, ask about cow foot soup or pigtail, both very local dishes. Despite their names, cow foot soup and pigtail are two of the tastiest dishes available in Belize.  </p>
<p>The cow foot broth, with its plentiful vegetables and seasonings, can easily rival some comfort soups from home – even if you don&#8217;t eat the cow foot itself. </p>
<p>Pigtail is surprisingly one of the most tender cuts of pork and comes stewed with a variety of seasonings, often served with plantains and split peas on the side.  </p>
<p>Availability of cow foot soup and pigtail can vary, depending on where you are in Belize.  If you are unable to locate either dish, most locals can tell you when and where to find the best pigtail and cow foot soup in town.  If you are traveling on <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com" target="_blank">Ambergris Caye</a>, Friday is one of the best days to try both.  </p>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sandwiched between Mexico and Guatemala, the small Caribbean Sea facing nation of Belize offers a myriad of travel opportunities to suit any type of traveler.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are looking to just relax on idyllic white sand beaches or prefer to hike rainforests and climb ancient <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/maya-civilization">Maya ruins</a> &#8212; whether it&#8217;s your first or tenth trip &#8212; you could easily spend months exploring Belize&#8217;s many cultural and historical facets.  </p>
<p>Unfortunately, many of us don&#8217;t have the luxury to set out on a leisurely exploration of Belize for months at a time.  However, if you can spare 10 days and are looking to get a thorough overview of what Belize has to offer, we&#8217;ve picked some of the best jumping off points in the country. </p>
<h2>How to Get Around in Belize</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/flights-within-belize">Tropic Air and Maya Island Air</a> are the domestic carriers in Belize and offer quick and easy flights between most major areas in the country, including the major cayes.  For those who prefer not to fly on the mainland, buses are the way to go. Or, if you are the type who likes to stop in small villages and explore roadside shops, rent a car and drive between regions yourself. </p>
<h2>2 Days in Belize City</h2>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/03/Belize-City-Altun-Ha.jpg" alt="" title="Belize City Altun Ha" width="600" height="403" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-429" /><br />
Only about 10 miles from the Belize International Airport, <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/belize-city">Belize City</a> is worthy of a two-day stop.  Here you can explore Belize&#8217;s prior capital city.  It is often considered the heart of the country and mainly sees an influx of visitors arriving via cruise ship.  </p>
<p>While in Belize City, you can brush up on the cultural history at the Belize Museum or spend a day amongst the wild animals at the <a href="http://www.belizezoo.org/">Belize Zoo</a>.  The zoo is spread out over 29 acres of tropical savanna and is home to more than 150 animals belonging to over 45 species, all of which are native to Belize.   </p>
<p>Beer connoisseurs are likely to quickly discover the local beer, <a href="http://www.thebeerofbelize.com/">Belikin</a>, which has a Maya temple depicted on its logo.  Interested in learning more about the beer, the Maya site, or both?  Belize City is a good jumping off point for a tour of the nearby Belize Brewing Company that makes Belikin, and to visit <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/altun-ha.html">Altun Ha</a>, the Maya site housing the Temple of the Masonry of Altars, the temple depicted on the Belikin bottle. </p>
<h2>3 Days Cayo District</h2>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/03/Cayo-Xunantunich.jpg" alt="" title="Cayo Xunantunich" width="600" height="661" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-430" /><br />
The Cayo District is the western-most district that borders Guatemala and is really the gateway to Belize&#8217;s most visited sites.  It&#8217;s the largest geographically and one of the most diverse districts in the country, showcasing Maya ruins, rainforests, caving, and more.  </p>
<p><a href="http://ww/">San Ignacio</a> is one of the most popular spots in the Cayo District and offers a range of lodging options from jungle-style accommodations to several five star boutique resorts.  </p>
<p>After settling into the Cayo District, you could start Day 1 off by exploring one of the numerous nature trails in the region or go canoeing on the Macal or kayaking on the Mopan rivers. On the second day, explore <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/xunantunich.html">Xunantunich</a> or <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/caracol.html">Caracol</a>, both important Maya ruin sites.  </p>
<p>For your last day in the Cayo District, set yourself up for some real adventure by exploring one of the two most popular caves in the area, <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/barton-creek.html">Barton Creek Cave</a> or <a href="http://www.travelbelize.org/activities/actun-tunichil-muknal">Actun Tunichil Muknal</a>, commonly called ATM.  </p>
<h2>2 Days Placencia</h2>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/03/Placencia.jpg" alt="" title="Placencia" width="600" height="364" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-431" /><br />
<a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/placencia">Placencia</a> is located on the southern coast of Belize and is a welcoming spot for a little R&#038;R or world-class diving.  Don&#8217;t be fooled by the idyllic white sand beaches and crystal blue waters, there is still plenty to do for adventure seekers visiting Placencia. </p>
<p>One way to start your first day in Placencia is to hire a boat and explore Monkey River where you can spot howler monkeys and perhaps a crocodile or two along the way.  Or hop on a <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/sailing">sailboat</a> and enjoy a leisurely sail around the area, perhaps visiting some of the neighboring Cayes.  During the evening, be sure to stroll into town and down the &#8220;World&#8217;s Skinniest Street&#8221;, more of a sidewalk, but with all the shops lining both sides, it is a considered a street and landed itself in the Guinness World Book of Records in 2009.  </p>
<p>On Day 2, gear up for some more adventure and explore some nearby ruins, <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/lubaantun.html">Lubaantun</a> and <a href="http://www.belizedev.com/belizemaya2012/maya-sites/nim-li-punit.html">Nim Li Punit</a>, or visit the <a href="http://www.belizeaudubon.org/parks/cbws.htm">Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary</a>, the world&#8217;s first jaguar reserve.  </p>
<p>If you time your visit during the months of March through June, you might have the opportunity to <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/scuba-diving">scuba dive</a> or <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/snorkeling">snorkel</a> with the captivating whale sharks, a bucket list item for many.  If you&#8217;ve dreamt of interacting with these gentle giants, Placencia is the place to do it and local dive shops can tell you the best travel weeks in hopes of seeing them.  </p>
<h2>3 Days Caye Caulker or Ambergris Caye</h2>
<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2012/03/Ambergris-Caye.jpg" alt="" title="Ambergris Caye" width="600" height="342" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-432" /><br />
While the mainland has some incredible coastline, being within a mile of the second largest barrier reef in the world is a sight to behold.  Depending on your speed, Caye Caulker and/or <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/ambergris-caye/">Ambergris Caye</a> are worth a visit. </p>
<p>If you prefer a really laid back, backpacker type of vibe, <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/caye-caulker/">Caye Caulker</a> and its &#8220;Go Slow&#8221; motto will be right up your alley.  If you prefer a little variety, more nightlife, and a range of lodging options, choose Ambergris Caye.  </p>
<p>Both islands are quite close to each other (about a 30 minute water taxi ride) and are easily accessible from the mainland via local flights or water taxis.  From here, you can chill out on the beach or get in some serious diving with countless dive sites within a ten-minute boat ride.  </p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t a diver, the snorkeling is still top-notch, with a morning trip to <a href="http://www.holchanbelize.org/">Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley</a> highly recommended. Here you can snorkel with some of Belize&#8217;s exotic marine life, and then swing by Shark Ray Alley for an up close and personal interaction with stingrays and nurse sharks.  </p>
<p>For the ultimate in kick back spots, go swimming in Caye Caulker&#8217;s &#8220;Split&#8221; and enjoy a Belikin at the Lazy Lizard, the prime hang out on the island.  On Ambergris Caye, head north to the <a href="http://www.palapabarandgrill.com/">Palapa Bar and Grill</a> where you can lounge in tubes with a bucket of Belikin beers. </p>
<p>For those who may be itching to see more Maya Ruins, many tours are available from the Cayes. They are all day trips since you need to travel back to the mainland, but popular tours like <a href="http://mayaruins.com/lamanai.html">Lamanai Ruins</a>, cave tubing, zip lining, and even the Belize Zoo are all options available from multiple tour companies on Ambergris Caye and some may be available from Caye Caulker as well.  </p>
<p>Just be sure to save time while on Ambergris Caye to explore some of the island&#8217;s nightly live music scene and the world famous <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/the-chicken-drop-san-pedro%E2%80%99s-weirdest-and-most-famous-weekly-event.html">Chicken Drop</a> at Wahoo&#8217;s Lounge on Thursday nights.</p>

<p><img src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2011/12/beachchair.jpg" alt="" title="beachchair" width="350" height="262" class="alignright size-full wp-image-419" />The official language of Belize is English, and this beautiful country in South America has everything you could ever wish for in a luxury holiday. Stay in a tropical rainforest setting or choose a beautiful beach front resort. There is something for everyone, and there has never been a better time to pack your bags and head to the jungle.</p>
<h2>Kanatik Reef and Jungle Resort</h2>
<p>This secluded resort sits right on the beach in southern Belize and is truly spectacular. There are 25 private cabanas that front the beach surrounded by tropical gardens and amazing scenery. Get in touch with nature and lose yourself on 300 private acres. Located near the reef guests have the opportunity to get up close and personal with tropical fish, coral and giant sea turtles. Head down to the beach or lay back and relax by the pool. Each cabana features hardwood floors; huge king sized four poster beds and hand-made furnishings. Imagine relaxing on your private deck with a cool drink while you watch the world go by. When you wake up in the morning, wander down to the dining room and enjoy a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and hand-made pastries. After breakfast you can relax in your private hammock, go scuba diving or visit the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve. With so much to see and do, you may have to stay an extra week.</p>
<h2>Almond Beach Resort And Spa</h2>
<p>From Casitas on the beach to luxurious Veranda rooms, Almond beach is one of the most beautiful luxury resorts in Belize. Bring your family and stay in a two bedroom suite, or book a romantic honeymoon casitas. If planning a family trip, it is advised that you look for <a href="http://www.escapetravel.com.au/inclusive-packages/overview">all inclusive holiday packages</a> at the resort which will help to lower costs.</p>
<p>In the Stann Creek District close to Belize City, Almond Beach is near national parks, superb diving sites and the famous Mayan ruins. After you unpack your bags and get settled, in take a kayak and explore the landscape and wildlife that surrounds Almond Beach.  Wander back to the resort and lounge around the pool, or have a bite to eat. The cuisine is first class and features three restaurants where you can enjoy delicious meals. There is nothing quite as beautiful as Almond Beach.</p>
<h2>Cayo Espanto</h2>
<p>Pure luxury awaits you on your own private island. This 5-star resort overlooks the Caribbean and sits just off the coast of Belize. If you want to be spoiled and pampered, Cayo Espanto is for you. Choose a one or two bedroom beachfront villa, or go for opulent luxury and book an over the water bungalow on this 4-acre island. Your private dock stretches out from the island and is surrounded by the crystal clear Caribbean. World class chefs create meals that are suited to your particular taste. Have a candle lit dinner on your veranda and expect breakfast in bed when you wake up in the morning. You can be as active or as relaxed as you like. Explore the barrier-reef or take a jungle tour. You can even arrange a cruise or have a private picnic on the beach.</p>

It is home to the only international airport in Belize. </p>
<p>Tikal is a large archeological site in Guatemala. During the Classical Period it was one of the most important Mayan cities. Today, it is one of the most fascinating Mayan sites to visit mostly due to its remoteness and jungle setting. And there are still uncovering works going one so if you are lucky you can catch archeologists at work. Among the Mayan cities in Central America, Tikal is the most breathtaking due to the impressive buildings restored scattered among ruined buildings still hidden by the jungle. </p>
<p>The nearest gateway to Tikal is Flores, which is served by an airport. In Flores, there’s one travel agency which has the monopoly when it comes to taking visitors to Tikal. They will pick you up from the hotel in the morning and the round trip journey costs 60 Guatemalan Quetzal (about US$8). </p>
<p><strong>Quick summary </strong></p>
<p>The gateway to Tikal is Flores and that’s where the planes land and the buses stop. It’s much cheaper to travel by bus (about US$21*) than to fly. </p>
<h2>Flights from Belize City (airport code: BZE) to Tikal </h2>
<p>Belize City is served by two airports but only <strong>Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE)</strong> handles both international and domestic traffic. It is located about 30 min from Belize City. </p>
<p>Flores is the gateway to Tikal and home to <strong>Mundo Maya International Airport (FRS)</strong>. It is located in the suburb of Santa Elena and gets both international and domestic traffic. </p>
<p>Tropic Air is the only airline flying between Belize City and Flores. From Belize City there are two connections per day to Flores and the adult single fare is US$128.50. The adult return fare is US$223.50. </p>

While there aren’t many things to do here, Belize City is home to the only international airport in the country and a transportation hub. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/placencia">Plancecia</a>  is a peninsula along the Caribbean coastline of Belize and is a well known getaway to the diving sites in the area. Kayaking, fishing and sailing are also popular activities here. And let’s not forget the sunbathing on the incredible beaches.</p>
<p><strong>Quick summary </strong></p>
<p>The hassle free way to get between Belize City and Placencia is by plane. Maya Island Air and Tropic Air have similar fares but they do depend on the time of the year when you fly. And it&#8217;s cheaper to fly from Belize City Municipal Airport. Buses are the cheap alternative but there isn’t a direct bus and you’ll spend too much time on the road. </p>
<h2>Flights from Belize City to Placencia </h2>
<p>Belize City is served by <strong>Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE)</strong> , the only international airport in the country. It is is located northwest of Belize City and is not a hub for any airline. The airport handles direct flights from USA (Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Newark and Charlotte), El Salvador and also handles domestic flights.</p>
<p><strong>Belize City Municipal Airport (TZA)</strong> also serves Belize City but only handles domestic flights. </p>
<p><strong>Placencia Airport (PLJ)</strong> and only handles domestic flights to/from Belize City (International and Municipal), Dangriga and Punta Gorda. Flights to/from Belize City are run by Maya Island Air and Tropic Air. </p>

<h2>Buses from Belize City to Placencia </h2>
<p>There isn’t a direct bus between the two cities. So first you need to catch a bus to Belmopan and then another to Placencia. It’s easily a half day trip. All buses heading south or west stop in Belmopan. However, figuring out the entire route and times of departure ahead of time (online) is pretty much impossible. </p>
<h2>Driving from Belize City to Placencia </h2>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/car-rental">rent a car</a>  and drive the 184 km along the Coastal Highway between Belize City and Placecia. The drive time is about 3 hours. </p>

<p><strong>Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE)</strong> is the only international airport in Belize. It is located northwest of Belize City  and is the 12th busiest airport in Central America (by passengers). It’s not a hub for any airline and it receives direct flights from USA (Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Newark and Charlotte), El Salvador and also handles domestic flights. </p>
<p>If you want to fly from Mexico, there isn’t any direct flight. If you need to fly out of Mexico City,  connections are available via San Salvador but the travel time is about 23 hours and the fares start at US$508 on TACA. It’s cheaper, from US$366 on American Airlines, but takes much longer &#8211; about 66 hours, to fly from Cancun to Belize City via Miami. </p>
<p>So, instead of wasting so much time and money on these connecting flights, the option is to fly to Chetumal and then connect to the water taxi. The flight from Mexico City is operated by Interjet and takes 1h 45 min. The fare is US$135.42 one way. Once in Chetumal , take the water taxi to San Pedro and then further to Belize City.<br />

<h2>Buses from Mexico to Belize City </h2>
<p>Just like in the case of flights, you need to get from whichever Mexican city you are visiting to Chetumal, Quintana Roo. <a href="http://www.ado.com.mx/">ADO Buses  </a> offer direct links to Tulum, Merida, Playa del Carmen Mahahual and Mexico City. </p>
<p>Buses from Tulum to Chetumal leave very often during the day and the first one leaves at 8:20 a.m.. The travel time is about 3 ½ h and fare is 194.00 Mexican Pesos one way (about US$8). </p>
<p>There are several departures per day from Merida, with the first bus leaving at 7:30 a.m. The travel time is 6 h and the fare is 348.00 Mexican Pesos one way (about US$25).</p>
<p>Buses from <a href="http://www.mexicologue.com/playa-del-carmen">Playa del Carmen</a>  depart almost every hour, every day. The first bus leaves at 6:20 a.m. The travel time is about 4 ½ h and the fare is 240.00 Mexican Pesos one way (about US$17). </p>
<p>Buses from <a href="http://www.mexicologue.com/mexico-city">Mexico City </a>  take about 19 ½ h to get to Chetumal. There are several departures per day, the first being at 8:30 a.m. The fare is 1,194.00 Mexican Pesos one way (about US$86).</p>
<p>Once in Chetumal, catch the water taxi to San Pedro and then the connecting boat to Belize City.</p>
<h2>Driving from Mexico to Belize City </h2>
<p>You can rent a car in Mexico and drive all the way to Belize City. For example, from Mexico City you’ll need to cover 1474 km (or 16 ½ h driving hours). Make sure to ask the rental company whether you can take the car across the border and also plan to make some stops along the way. </p>
<p>From Cancun (see map below) you’ll need to drive 523 km in about 6 ½ h. </p>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align='right' border='1' style='7px' src="http://whygo-amr.s3.amazonaws.com/www.belizelogue.com/files/2008/05/marthashotel.jpg" alt='Marthas San Pedro' />The <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/san-pedro/">town of San Pedro</a> on <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/ambergris-caye/">Ambergris Caye</a> is home to hotels in all price ranges, and as these things often happen, the more expensive ones with their own modern websites tend to be easier to find out about than the cheap places that rely on walk-ups and word-of-mouth. Since we are cheapskates ourselves most of the time, we like to occasionally highlight <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/hotels/">Belize hotels</a> that aren’t well known, but offer excellent value for budget travelers. </p>
<p><a href="http://ambergriscaye.com/marthas/">Martha’s Hotel</a> is just such a place, and it’s one of the cheapest hotels in San Pedro. When considering places like this it’s important to keep your expectations in line with the price you’ll be paying. If there is a place in the world where you can find a posh air-conditioned suite on a beach for US$20, we’ve yet to find it. Most of the <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/san-pedro-hotels/">hotels in San Pedro</a> and throughout Ambergris Caye cost many times the price of this place, and there are reasons why that is the case. But if you are a backpacker or budget traveler looking for a place to sleep while enjoying the beaches and such, this might be your place.<span id="more-264"></span></p>
<p><strong>Location</strong></p>
<p>Martha’s Hotel says it’s 3 blocks from the San Pedro Airstrip and 1 block from the beach, but checking a map seems to indicate it’s just a bit farther from both. Nevertheless, this hotel is in the center of the town and a short walk from everything, including both the air strip and the <a href="http://www.belizelogue.com/belize-water-taxis.html">water taxi</a> pier.  </p>
<p><strong>The hotel</strong></p>
<p>Martha’s Hotel has 12 rooms in one building, all with private bathrooms. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there are dozens of places in this area within just a few blocks, so you’ll never have a problem finding a meal or a drink. Each room has a fan, but no air conditioning. During most of the year this should be enough, but some nights during the summer humid season might be uncomfortable for people who have a tough time sleeping in a muggy climate. There’s no TV or phone in the rooms, but there is a phone guests can use in the office. </p>
<p><strong>Prices</strong></p>
<p>High season (generally December through March)<br />
Single – US$23<br />
Double – US$35<br />
Triple – US$47<br />
Quad – US$59</p>
<p>Low season (April through November)<br />
Single – US$15<br />
Double – US$28<br />
Triple – US$38<br />
Quad – US$50</p>
<p><strong>Booking a room</strong></p>
<p>Hotels like Martha’s tend to do most of their business by walk-ups, and only in peak season do they typically sell out early, but you can reserve a room if you want to lock this place in. </p>
