This was my first trip ever out of the country. I met with a travel host and group of strangers. Honestly had the best time. It's not very 'Resort' type here as far as vacations go. This is very much more of a deep traveler experience. Super thrilling honestly. It was super cool to explore the City. Tons of shops. Locals are very friendly. We only stayed for one day before moving on to Caye Caulker.

Really enjoyed my recent solo trip to Belize. My first stop was in San Ignacio at the Maya Mountain Lodge. I felt very safe in San Ignacio - no harassment, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Really felt in love with the place and there are fun adventurous things to do such as the ATM caves and Mayan sites. I felt very safe walking around in the day (but as with all holidays, refrained from walking alone at night - but that’s my own universal rule) Travelled through Belize City to catch a ferry. The city is known for high crime rates and is generally somewhere for tourists to get out...
Posted: January 27, 2025Felt very safe as a couple, I wouldn’t walk alone as a female at night in Belize city however. The villages felt very safe, as well as the islands. The people were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was good—stay local for the best experiences.
