Why You Should Solo Travel to Belize during the Fall

Embark on an extraordinary journey when you book your solo trip to Belize during the fall! As September approaches, travelling the jewel is a cultural immersion with festivities and tours galore. No need to worry about language barriers or getting around! With welcoming locals, safe transportation, and many enthused travellers exploring the country, you will feel like your home away from home.

Enjoy the Belize National Celebrations

Kick off your solo trip to Belize with the lively National Celebrations. September is jam-packed with concerts like the Francis Reneau Concert Series and Pan Yaad, Carnival Road March, and the National Flag Raising Ceremony. Join the parades, enjoy the local music, and savour traditional foods as you mingle with friendly locals. The energy is contagious, making it the perfect first-hand experience of a Belizean Independence Celebration.

Visit an Offshore Island

No solo trip to Belize is complete without a pristine offshore island getaway. For laidback vibes, Caye Caulker is renowned for its ‘go slow’ motto with its swaying coconut trees, delicious eateries, and barefoot paradise. It is a hotspot for solo travellers to unwind and explore the second-largest barrier reef in the world on snorkelling and diving tours! You can also experience offshore islands, such as Silk Caye and Laughing Bird Caye, for one-day snorkelling excursions when visiting the southern parts of Belize.

Do a Cultural Cooking Experience

In October, Belize celebrates Indigenous Peoples Resistance Day, making it an ideal opportunity to engage in a cultural cooking class! Visit a traditional Maya home in a cozy village to stir up a hot pot of caldo (local chicken soup) or grind chocolate nibs on the metate for smooth chocolate paste. Opt for a Garifuna cooking experience to make yourself a bowl of sere and hudut on the beachside! Enjoy the rhythmic drumming after savouring a tasty meal. Your solo trip to Belize will introduce you to a myriad of flavours and recipes to take to your home kitchen!

Relax in Coastal Villages

Travel to Southern Belize to serene coastal communities like Hopkins and Placencia Village for a relaxing time away from the bustle of towns and cities. Take a stroll on the powdery sand beaches with the waves crashing against your feet at sunrise before going on a day’s worth of activities. If you’re to go on your solo trip in November, visit the culture capital, Dangriga, for Garifuna Settlement Day on November 19th. The town comes alive with energetic Punta Rock concerts, aromatic cuisines, and ceremonies to commemorate the arrival of the Garifuna people of Belize.

Belize is a solo traveller’s paradise with pristine beaches, cultural immersions, thrilling tours, and entertaining events. Whether you’re in the country for a week or two, a solo trip to Belize in the fall promises unforgettable memories that will hook you to return as soon as possible!
