This Is Belize

See what it’s really like for Black women traveling to Belize, including insights on safety, comfort, and experiences in Belize City, San Ignacio, and Ambergris Caye.

Belize has a population of about 420,000, with English as the official language and Belizean Creole, Spanish, Garifuna, and several Maya languages widely spoken. Its currency is the Belize Dollar (BZD), and the climate is tropical, with a wet season from June to November and a dry season from February to May.

Visitors are drawn to Belize for its mix of Caribbean warmth, Central American adventure, and Maya heritage: exploring ancient temples like Xunantunich and Caracol, snorkeling or diving along the Belize Barrier Reef and the Great Blue Hole, wandering through the colorful streets of San Pedro and Placencia, or trekking through lush rainforests and caves on the mainland. Belizean cuisine is diverse and flavorful, blending Caribbean, Latin, and Indigenous influences with dishes like rice and beans, stew chicken, fry jacks, and hudut. The population is a vibrant blend of Creole, Mestizo, Maya, Garifuna, and other cultures, reflected in lively festivals, drumming traditions, and the easygoing pace that defines daily life.

Before traveling, check current travel advisories, visa requirements, local customs, and laws to ensure a safe and respectful visit. Official government travel sites, embassies, or reliable international resources are the best references.

Cities within the same country can have completely different vibes. If you visited more than one, submit a separate reviews. Example: 7 (instead of “1 week”), 90 (instead of “3 months”).
