    Bordercrossing to Guatemala

    January 9, 2017 in Belize ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    After our adventure in Mountain Pine Ridge the whole group was leaving San Ignacio to different directions.
    A lot of them were heading towards the coast but Dennis was joining me on my way to Guatemala. It should be my first bordercrossing by foot.
    We took a taxi to Benque and from there a taxi to the border. I thought it would be more exciting but it was actually just like walking through immigration at an airport. You enter the building on one side and once you leave it on the other side, you are in another country. The only weird thing was that we could have missed immigration in Guatemala. You had to walk to a shelter to get your stamp but you could have just walked past it without anybody realizing. From Melchor we took a collectivo to Santa Elena and from there a TukTuk to Flores. This was definitely the trip with the most different ways of transportation.
