Transportation  

Bus from Cheutmal, MX to Corozal, BZ

In Chetumal, you can catch these yellow & white buses that can go almost anywhere. Look for one that has the big sign for "Santa Helena" (the border town). It will cost you 8 pesos. Turn in your tourist card to Mexican Customs (they charged us a $10 departure tax), then walk across the bridge and through the Free Zone to Belize Customs. Once you clear Customs, you can even change US to Belizean at 1:2, and then catch a bus into Chetumal for BZ$2 ($1 USD). That puts you into the middle of Corozal.

(If you don't know where to catch the bus in Chetumal, simply say: Donde esta al autobus a Santa Helena? to the first Mexican you see. =)

Take care, Corozal

Belizean sunrise seen from the bus

Favorite thing: Bring a book to read or a journal to write in. You never know when you will spend a couple of hours in the middle of nowhere, or in a small busstation... ;)

If you have a journal you can finally write down all of the things you haven't had time to write down earlier in the trip...
