CLOSED:
My tour of Belize is done, at least for now.
Please SEARCH FOR ‘Belize‘ to find all of my Postings, Travel Budgets and Retirement Reviews.
I found no GRANDPAcking Retirement Locations in Belize.
Meanwhile, here is some general information about Belize and / or the places of interest that I did not get to …
GENERAL INFORMATION:
In my opinion, the main attraction of Belize is that the official language is English.
Other than that, Belize compares poorly against the countries that I have visited so far. In fact, right now, I would place Belize bottom of my list.
Simply put … Belize does not deliver for the price that you pay.
Belize is expensive and it is not within GRANDPAcker price range.
MAINLAND:
COROZAL:
People are friendly here and this town is attractive to the expat population which numbers between 300-400 residents.
CAYO DISTRICT:
Cayo is a mountainous, tropical, broad-leaf forest region of western Belize which was the heart of the Maya world.
Although not as well excavated as Tikal (over the border in Guatemala), Caracol is a treasure with 30 sqm of ruins and nearby underground river cave systems, natural pools, and waterfalls.
I stayed in San Ignacio for 4 nights as part of my Day Trip to Tikal.
Very few GRANDPAckers would choose to retire in such a town / location.
