huge fees to exit Belize.

It's $20, and goes towards archaeological conservation.

Where do you fly into and out of? Dates of flight please.
Thinks it's only $10us bucks to cross into Belize overland.
Yes, way to much on your list to see, be easy to narrow down.
What are your main interests for this trip?

Re: Belize...
Departure fee at land border: BZ$30
PACT Fee: BZ$7.50
And now there's a new fee of BZ$2.50 for border improvement or something like that.
Total: BZ$40 or US$20


Here's my bus and transportation information: https://belizebus.wordpress.com

If you enter Mexico at a land border, you shouldn't have to pay anything upon entry. And there's no departure/exit fee/tax.

There is a tourist fee/tax which you must pay before you leave Mexico. Sometimes I've paid it at a bank. If you plan to leave Mexico at a land border, the easiest thing to do is pay it at the border. I've always paid the fee in pesos -- it works out to be equivalent of about US$24. If your stay in Mexico is 7 days or less, you do not need to pay the fee -- you might need to leave Mexico at the same point where you entered.

Dear all, will arrive in Guatemala City on the 08.12. Honig directly to Antigua (hopefully) and depart on 12.01. from Guatemala City.
Like to avoid to go to a City again, but it seems, that I have to go to Flores after my trip to Mexiko.
Thank you sooo much for trying to help me!
Kind regards

Why Mexico?
Stick with Guatemala, at least the majority of it. You do fly in-out....

Still haven't said what you want to see and do? You have about a month, 30 days?
Do you want to hike, surf, dive-snorkel, explore ruins, drink etc?

Places I like to visit:
Antigua - YES
Atilan – San Pedro - YES
Chichicastenango - YES
Coban - MAYBE
Laquin - Semuc Champey - MAYBE
Tikal - YES
Palenque - MAYBE
Celestún - NO
Merida - NO
Tulum - NO
Rio Dulce - YES
Livingston - YES
Quiriguá - MAYBE, ASK YOUR DRIVER FROM COPAN TO DULCE.
Copán – Honduras - MAYBE
Monterico - NO
Guatemala at 11:00 am

Guess your a chick using terms like dear.

Maybe something like:
2 Nights- Antigua
5 N - Lake Atitlan - Both have a bunch of cheap volcano hikes.
4 N- Copan Honduras
3 N - Tikal, stay in the park.
2 N - San Ignacio, yes it's Belize, oh well. do the ATM cave trip, awesome.
3 N - Caye Cauker - killer snorkeling and cheap, good drinks too!
2 N - http://raggamuffintours.com/ Your sail trip including lots of other stuff like shells on a beach and many drinks.
1 N - Punta Gorda
1-2 N - Livingston
2-3 N - River Lodge - http://www.hotelitoperdido.com/main.php?page=activities& or http://fincatatin.com/Code/HTML/English/en_welcome.html

Easy paddle to hot springs from the river lodges.

It's only one option.
28 nights, easy from Rio Dulce to Guatemala City and Antigua, about 5- hours.
Easy to meet lots of other travelers.

Could after Tikal/Flores go north to Palenque then over to San Cristobal de las Casas and back down to Guatemala but you'll get more variety the other way.
