Northern Belize Getting there & around

Getting there & around

The Northern Hwy links Belize City with the Mexican border via the region’s two main towns, Orange Walk and Corozal. Several bus companies service the route, with some going as far as Chetumal, 7 miles into Mexico. Since the bankruptcy of Novelo’s (once the flagship bus company of Belize), half a dozen companies have stepped in to service the region, and approximately 30 daily buses run each way from Belize City to Corozal Town. There are also daily buses connecting Orange Walk Town with Sarteneja (though the nicest way to get to Sarteneja is by boat from Corozal Town). Daily flights connect Corozal Town with Sarteneja and San Pedro (Ambergris Caye). At San Pedro you can connect with flights to and from Belize City. Presently, there are no regular flights servicing Orange Walk Town.
