I appreciate the time you took to write this piece. Now I know that I need to take a cab to Belize immigration after walking across the bridge from Subteniente Lopez in Mexico.

I was wondering if it could be feasable to cross that border with our camper. Anyone of you has already traveled with cross the border with thier camper?

I’ve got US citizenship, but I live in Merida. Since I don’t yet have residency, I have to leave MX and return in order to have my visa extended. With Covid, I keep getting conflicting info from Inmigración as to whether my stay is automatically extended. Your information along with lovely photos of Bacalar and its places to stay, have convinced me to get it over with and head for Belize via Bacalar. Your description of Corozal is also inviting, so I think I’ll make a little vacation out of what originally promised to be a major chore. Happy travels.

I did it as following:
-Public bus direction “Santa Elena” from Chetumal to the border (18 Pesos, each 30 min, 30 min ride, eg in the crossing in front of the Downtown Hostel)
-558 Pesos at the Mex border
-1 USD Minivan Taxi from Mex Border to Belize Border to Chetumal bus station (frequent rides)

As European you can’t enter back to Mexico within following three days.

The Yucatan is probably my favorite part of Mexico! The color of the water is just amazing, and so is the hospitality. I went to Bacalar back in July and it was hot but not unbearable, but fall or winter is definitely a bit more mild (but still hot enough to swim). And yes, the border crossing is complicated, unfortunately! Ray commented above that “Marlin Espadas bus operator” is another option that is potentially easier, especially if you’re not trying to stay in Corozal for a few days. Have an amazing time if you go, the area is beautiful!

We’re probably too spoiled with the “no-border” here in Europe... haha! It’s good to know that you need to pay in cash and in Belizean money when leaving the country!]]> Thank you for this informative post! We have been thinking about visiting the Yucatan, Guatemala and Belize someday. Actually we wanted to go there next summer, but because of the hot weather we’ll probably go another time (except if you convince us now that the heat is bearable? 🤔) Anyway, we didn’t know that it was so complicated to cross the border.

I’ve not thought to try something like this, but it could save a lot of money. it’s seems to be an easy and straightforward process, and you still get a passport stamp!

I really liked the zoomed in details of the currency. And I can see why Bacalar is your fave place in Mexico.

Do you have all the papers you need? What about the money? In Europe one often notices at some “borders” only the change of the street signs, that one comes into a new country. Fortunately, there are hardly any controls – I, as someone who grew up in divided Berlin, always had to drive through many controls, is more than happy about it.
