Warning

Most visits to Belize are trouble-free. However, travelers should be on their guard and exercise caution, as there have been occasional violent incidents against tourists.

The threat from terrorism is low, but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

  

Although uncommon, there have been incidents of violent crime and physical assaults, including armed robbery and rape, targeted at tourists. Armed criminal gangs from Guatemala have been known to operate in the past around densely forested areas of Belize and close to a number of tourist sites.

The hurricane season in Belize normally runs from June to November.

Health Care
There are seven government hospitals - one in Belmopan, one in Belize City and one in each of the other five main district towns, but, generally, medical facilities are limited and there is a shortage of doctors in rural areas. Medical services in rural areas are provided by rural health care centers, and mobile clinics operate in remote areas. Medical insurance is strongly advised. Most hospitals and doctors expect to be paid in cash, whether you have insurance or not.


Note
* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travelers coming from infected areas.
