Will I See Poverty in Belize?
Approximately 40 percent of Belize’s population lives below the poverty line, so you will see some poverty during your stay. Some of the poorest areas include Toledo, Orange Walk, and Corozal. Belize City also has its fair share of poverty.
Belize City
Almost all visitors to Belize find themselves in the country’s largest city at one point or another, but unfortunately Belize City is not an attractive destination for most. The majority of travelers who come here are merely passing through – Belize City is the transportation hub for all international and domestic flights, as well as ferries leaving to Ambergris and Caye Caulker. But Belize City has some hidden jewels and nearby attractions that make it worth a visit.
It's more than just having a good time or visiting beautiful places (although that's absolutely a part of it!), it's about being part of a unique experience that stays with you.
