On the other hand, it is one of the countries with the highest population growth rate in America.<\/p>\n<p>#4 Despite being small, Belize\u2019s population is very diverse. Most are mestizo (52%), but there are substantial communities of Kriols (26%), Mayas (11%), and Garifunas (6%). There are also relatively small Indian and Chinese communities, but they are evident as they own many small businesses, such as electronics stores, grocery stores, and convenience stores.<\/p>\n<p>#5 Despite this diversity, the most surprising community in Belize is the Mennonites, who represent almost 4% of the population. Mennonites are Christians, Protestant Baptists who believe in the words of Menno Simons, a Dutch priest who believed in the necessity for radical reform of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>Belize Mennonites came mainly from Russia (and some from Pennsylvania) and spoke Plautdietsch.

It was also the only country in Central America colonized by the United Kingdom, hence the official language being English. While part of the United Kingdom, Belize was known as British Honduras.<\/p>\n<p>#7 Guatemala does not recognize the independence of Belize since it believes that part (or all) of its territory should be part of Guatemala.<\/p>\n<p>Although this issue has not yet been resolved, there is no armed conflict between the countries, and the borders are open.

However, almost everyone also speaks Spanish, so contact with the locals is easy for most people.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, some immigrants from Latin America, namely some street vendors, do not speak English. But given that his native language is Spanish, the dialogue is not difficult either.<\/p>\n<p># 9 Despite being facilitated by the languages, contact with the locals is a bit odd. We found Belize to be a country of almost extremes. We caught the friendliest and most attentive people, but it was also one of the countries where we felt least comfortable with some interactions.<\/p>\n<p>On the street, people would interact with us boisterously, ask questions that were not very common, and it was difficult to understand why or what they wanted. We didn\u2019t feel threatened; it was just weird and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" alt=\"Things you need to know before traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-768x536.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 4 traveling to Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"Things you need to know before traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Belize-City-Belize-768x536.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 4 traveling to Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The capital of Belize- Belize City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_to_travel_in_Belize\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_to_travel_in_Belize\"><\/span>Is it safe to travel in Belize?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>#10 Like other countries in the region, Belize has a relatively bad reputation due to some crime, especially in Belize City. In other places, during the day, it seemed calm, while at night, it is inadvisable to walk through the streets.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, we felt quite comfortable during the day everywhere, but during the night, the vibe changed with a much heavier atmosphere. Everything was much more relaxed on the islands, especially on Caye Caulker.<\/p>\n<p>In Belize, you also see a lot of poverty, with many people drunk or high on the streets. In addition to being heartbreaking, it gives a greater sense of danger.

Thus, the biggest issue will be avoiding the hurricane season. In addition to regularly destroying the country (or part of it), they eliminate any travel plans.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we advise against visiting Belize in September and October, as your trip may be spoiled, canceled, or worse. In the other months of the rainy season, the risk continues to exist, but it is smaller.<\/p>\n<p>#13 For this reason, the high season in Belize runs from December to March, as this is when the weather is best. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s when it\u2019s coldest in Europe, the US, and Canada, which makes Belize the ideal place to escape the cold and snow.<\/p>\n<p>The high season is also when prices are higher, so if you want to try the shoulder season, it\u2019s probably best to travel in April, May, and November. Note that the risk is higher in November as hurricanes and heavy rains are still possible.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Stuff you need to know before traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 7 traveling to Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"Stuff you need to know before traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Beautifull-Caye-Caulker-in-Belize-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 7 traveling to Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pelicans on a beach on the island of Caye Caulker in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_in_Belize\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_in_Belize\"><\/span>What to wear in Belize?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>#14 As the weather is hot all year round, take comfortable, cool, light clothing.

It is more visited by backpackers and therefore has a more relaxed and youthful atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Caye Ambergris is much larger, has many more people (both locals and tourists), and has a greater variety of accommodations; it is mainly known for its many resorts \u2013 especially the most luxurious ones.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Fun things about traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 13 traveling to Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"Fun things about traveling to Belize\" class=\"wp-image-28553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Resorts-in-Ambergris-Caye-Belize-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things you need to know before traveling to Belize 13 traveling to Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Resort on the island Ambergris Cay in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#23 In Caye Ambergris, you will need to rent a golf cart as the distances are long, but otherwise, it is an enjoyable activity.
