'''=== To/From [[Mexico/Belize''']] ===
'''=== To/From [[Guatemala/]] ===There are 3 Borders crossing between Guatemala and Belize'''.One of the border is currently close.And one of the the two left requires a boat.
I heard '''Melchor de Mencos'''if you Crossed this border please add information to this section '''Punta Gorda to Livingstone'''On the south most point of Belize you can get boats that it is possible go to Livingstone.Boats go Monday to cross Friday leaving 9:30 from Punta Gorda to Guatemala Livingstone and leaving from Puerto Barrios in Honduras passing in Livingstone To Belize at 14:00 with a company called Requenaand cost 80 Belizean Dollars (June 2024).the ride takes about 40 minutes. You need to purchase a ticket before at Requena’s office a little bit norther than the immigration office in Punta gorda.If you are coming from Melchor de Mencos by land Livingstone to Belize tickets can be bought at docks when the boat arrives around 14:00. make sure you passed in the Guatemalan Immigration office before. At the entrance of Punta Gorda Immigration office guards will want to see your boat ticket and maybe passport.Inside you will have to pay 40 Belizean dollars for leaving. I know, Crazy. After paying you get stamped in the next stand and you are free to go to the docks.Come much before 9:30 else you might miss your boat. The Boat company recommends you to get there latest by 9 Am, But 9 Am might be too Late. Entering Belize doesn’t cost anything for most nationalities, but you only receive 30 days, for another 30 days you’ll have to pay 100 US Dollars. On Entrance you will have to state on a paper how long you are going to stay in Belize. Just fill 30 Days, you want get more. And you’ll need to put a name of a Hostel/Hotel where you are planing to stay. Don’t worry you can later after crossing choose to go to another Hostel/Hotel if you wish. In Livingstone the immigration office is not so close to the docks. About 6 minutes walk up hill.If you are leaving Guatemala you should get stamped before trying to buy a ticket from Barranco by boatthe boats at the docks. If you just arrived in Guatemala you should go to soon as you get to Livingstone to Immigration office to get stamped. Immigration office is located here: 15.826657451562127, -88.74908321548322, Google maps Leaving is quite easy.Hopefully i Entering requires you to fill a form online. You can get very Weak Slow WIFI at the immigration office. The Problem is that Livingstone tends to have a lot of outbreaks where the whole city don’t have electricity sometimes for days which will update about make it impossible to fill this form using the immigration WIFI.In that case you might need to wait for the electricity to come back to get stamped. After they give you the password for WIFI you can Scan the crossing later QR code they have onthe entrance of the building which will lead you to a website to fill all your personal data.After succeeding to fill the form they stamp you passport and you are free to go.

== Border crossings ==
As to 2024 Hitchhiking to the border from Mexico is quite easy.
Everyone in the Belizean side seem to prefer speaking English.
'''Jalacte Border Crossing (Illegal by this moment)'''
Now it's impossible to enter [[Guatemala]] legally, because there's no kind of customs or control when entering the country. This means that it's impossible to get an entry stamp and stay in the country on a legal basis.
People say that [[Guatemala]] doesn't really participate in making a legal border crossing point because of a territorial conflict between two countries. Let's hope that in 2017 travelers will be able to cross the border legally. At the moment you can only enter [[Guatemala]] at your own risk, which is never advisable by HitchWiki community.
