[[File:Katja hitchhiking in Belize.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Hitchhiker [[Katja and Augustas|Katja]] on an empty rural road in Belize.]]'''Belize''' is a small country in [[Central America]]. It borders to [[Mexico]] in the north and [[Guatemala]] in the west.
Hitchhiking in Belize is very logical and appears to be very goodand easy, even locals do it. There are plenty of speedbumps(just called ''bumps''), so each time you walk out of a town it's better to thumb at one of these. Some hitchhikers say that a small token payment may be exchanged. Others have not experienced this at all. Public transport is inexpensive but quite slow considering the size of the country. Cars with green license plates are taxis.
People in Belize are very friendly and many of them are proud of their country. Try to show respect to Belize and it's citizens and you'll find out that this tiny country has a lot of things to offer.
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.

''[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] hitched from the western border to the northern border in just a day in March 2018. The ease and the friendliness of people made him quite upset at already having to leave again, but the unexpected 40B$ (20US$!) exit fee quickly put his feelings back in perspective.
