Belize
,Adding border crossing info
* [[San Pedro (Belize)|San Pedro]]
== Border crossings =='''Mexico/Belize''' As to 2024 Hitchhiking to the border from Mexico is quite easy. Although most of the road is highway and most people go to Chetumal. It is still easy to stop rides and ask them to stop for you on the junction to Belize.The border crossing itself is a bit confusing. There are two different customs in different locations for entering and exiting Mexico.The locals tend to not know so well the rules because they don't apply on them the same as tourist. Exiting Mexico was super easy. There is a white room in the middle of the road where a lady just stumped my passport with barely any questions.She did tell me that if I wish to go back to Mexico in this border crossing it will cost me 750 mexican pesos and a flight ticket as a proof that I am leaving Mexico. The Belizean customs are not so close to the mexican customs. Luckily I had locals helping me, driving me around.In the Belizean customs you need to fill a standard paper stating your name, passport number etc...I was told to fill that I will stay only 30 days in Belize. They inform you that you can ask for 30 days more later and it will cost 100 US dollars.You have to state to which hotel are you going.I just filled a name I found online and no questions were asked.Later they might check your bags to see if you are smuggling anything ilegal, like fruit and veggies from Mexico. There is a bus stop just after the customs and even the police told me I can hitchhike there.Everyone in the Belizean side seem to prefer speaking English. '''Guatemala/Belize''' I heard that it is possible to cross to Guatemala from Belize from Melchor de Mencos by land and and from Barranco by boat.Hopefully i will update about the crossing later on '''Jalacte Border Crossing (Illegal by this moment) =='''
