HOW TO GET FROM CANCUN, MEXICO TO BELIZE CITY, BELIZE!

I have always told myself that if I ever flew to Mexico from England, It would have to be Cancun as my first port of call. First off its so much cheaper to fly into Cancun and 2nd its very close to the border with Belize.

So if your tired of all the touristy crap in Cancun and want another country in your passport. This is what you do!


1)​1) Go to the ADO bus station in Cancun

Its located not far from the roundabout with the big white marble monument. Across the road it is!
​2) Get a bus ticket from Cancun to Belize
I came prepared, weeks in advanced I brought a one way ticket with ADO bus lines from Cancun to Belize City. It cost around 830 Mexican Pesos for a one way ticket to Belize City.

​3) Leave Cancun.
Make sure your at the bus station at 9.50pm. Your bus leave at 10.15pm and it won't wait for you

4)  After 4am in the morning, Leave Mexico
The bus will stop at an immigration hut on the side of the road.  This is where you get your exit stamp for Mexico. ​​The location of this hut is in Quintanan Roo
5) pay the stupid 550 pesos tax

Okay this is a stupid land tax you got to pay to leave Mexico. There are too many reports of this being a scam.  When I fly out of Cancun back to Birmingham, its going to be 1000 pesos.

I was only in the United Mexican States for under 12 hours.

I paid about 470 in Pesos and the rest in Dollars! Upon paying this fee i surrender the immigration Card I surprisingly filled in online!

6) Get back on the bus and drive towards  Belize

You better have gotten your Exit stamp in Mexico as this may jeopardise any future plans of getting back into Mexico!


7) get off the bus and enter the Belize Immigration building at the CORAL FREE ZONE

Since you are not a Belize citizen (unless you are one) you will need to fill out an arrival card. This is very important as the amount of days you write on this form will be stamped into your passport
​8) Get your passport stamped.
 The border officer will stamp your passport and write how many days you can stay. I was only passing thru to get to Guatemala so I only had 2 days to get through the country.

9) Get back on the bus and go to Belize City
I got into Belize City after 7am. If your plan is to get out of Belize and to Guatemala today, the bus that goes to Flores doesn't LEAVE from the Main Bus terminal. It leaves from near the SWING BRIDGE.
