Q: What should I pack for a trip to Belize?

A: Belize is a casual country with a sub-tropical climate. Bring light clothing, flip-flops or other comfortable sandals, a hat to protect you from the strong sun, plenty of strong sunscreen, swimwear and a wrap, gym shoes if you plan to visit one of the Mayan sites (there are many steps to climb), light color long pants and light long sleeved shirts as well as a flashlight and bugspray if you plan a visit to the jungle. The country is very casual, only if you would like to wear formal attire for your celebration will you need a jacket and a tie. For all other occasions, this is not necessary.
