HOW TO DRIVE INTO BELIZE FROM MEXICO (overlanding into Belize, is it complicated?)

Join our journey on Patreon: / hourlesslife
________________________________________________
Welcome back to Hourless Life where we are driving around the world. Yesterday, we drove into Belize. We are officially in Central America and this is a milestone for us!
In today's video, we share all about how to drive into Belize from Mexico. We talk about all of the individual steps involved in driving out of Mexico and driving into Belize.
This is overlanding. Overlanding into Belize is a first for us and, from here on out, each border crossing will be a first as we've never driven this far south. But we're taking you along with us and hope you enjoy the journey. Feel free to hit us up with any questions. We are happy to be a resource!

    Loved it when you led your son in prayer, good job dad! Also gotta say, I loved Belize, flew into Cancun ,rented a car and drove down. We are now planning a trip with my wife, our 2 dogs ( chocolate lab and a small healer) and our friend and her dog ( a bit bigger than our lab). I am building out a medium duty truck that has an 18’ cargo box on the back. I am working out the details on a crawl through from the cab because it is a cab over style truck that tilts. It will be a simple build nothing fancy like I would like but we really want to make the trip ASAP . We would be leaving from British Columbia and heading down the west coast then across, we might go down the Baja, have not decided that yet. Take care and safe journeys!

Was that not so? Did I hear there's a temporary import fee or something? I wasn't sure about all of that and I am looking to move to Belize at the end of this year so trying to get all the info I can. Much appreciation and God Bless!

    Talking about vaccination requirements for the border crossing is essential since it is part of the process for crossing the border. There are requirements by the Belizean government. How would you propose that we “leave that out” when trying to helpfully inform folks on how to cross the border? I don’t mean this as argumentative, just as informational. Hope that clarifies. ~ Eric

However, if you are not vaccinated the Belizean government requires you to have a COVID test with negative results that they administer at their border and you have to await the results before being allowed access into their country. Every country has their own regulations and we are finding that those regulations are constantly changing. Hope that is helpful. ~ Eric
