Unlike many of the Caribbean's other British colonies, in Belize the atmosphere is slightly more wild, with an eye on outdoor adventure over black tie affairs. Unless traveling for business, it's best to leave dressier options back home. You will find no occasion to wear expensive clothes, jewelry, and watches, except if you plan to go out for a nice meal or two. Most of your clothing should be suitable for outdoor comfort.You'll want to pack loose-fitting pants and clothes made of lightweight fabrics. Bring shoes that are appropriate for a jungle trek, and beachwear as well. A hat with a brim will be an important accessory to block some of the sun's powerful rays from your face. The hat will serve double duty when Belizean rain showers pour. Remember that diving and hiking are two main activities, so pack accordingly for much time spent in the sun and on the water. This means plenty of protective clothing, from hats and sunglasses for your face and eyes to sunblock to protect the rest of you.With this in mind, you'll find that Belize's laid-back style means that comfort in clothing is the key to packing properly for your beach and jungle adventure. |
