What’s on your agenda for the upcoming autumn season? While many in North America might have summer vacation memories still fresh in their minds, the allure of fall adventures is undeniable. If your plans between now and November are still flexible, consider Belize as your top destination. Here are 5 compelling reasons, among many others, to explore Belize during the autumn months!
1. Travel deals are downright affordable. Airlines are returning to pre-Covid schedules between hubs in North America and Belize’s international airport, so it won’t take much effort to find a fare that suits your budget. Don’t plan to read a book during the flight. It only takes a couple of hours to reach Belize from southern hubs, so a magazine is suggested instead.
2. Belize in the fall is the ideal destination for folks who abhor crowds. If you’ve spent hard-earned money on a trip only to find yourself amid constant crowds, you know how it feels to have to queue for everything, stand in lines and wait for reservations. You won’t have to put up with hordes of humanity on beaches in Belize, at attractions and everywhere else. That alone should incentivize you to come down.
3. Fall is festival season in Belize. Among the celebrations slowly being re-instituted kick into overdrive as September arrives when Belize’s Independence Day, Belize City’s Road March, Orange Walk Carnival and Battle of St. George’s Caye are staged. Come in October for the Belize Birding Festival or wait until November to be part of Garifuna Settlement Day. There are so many other pageants, parties and celebrations on deck, you’re going to have to make some fun choices when you come down.
4. Bring a bib! Fall heralds the arrival of both lobster and conch seasons, so if you could eat either 24/7, you wouldn’t be the first person to book a trip to Belize for the sole reason of indulging your palate. Sample everything from lobster ceviche, stewed and grilled lobster bathed in spices to conch fritters, conch soup and conch ceviche. You won’t mind the fact that daily showers are short, sporadic and they won’t ruin a minute of your vacation if you pack a poncho.
5. Explore Belize’s diverse cultures. Nowhere in Central America will you find such an eclectic mix of people, music, art, traditions and more than in this nation, measuring just 8900 square miles. Despite its small size, Belize is home to Chinese, Creole, East Indians, Mennonites, Garifuna, Maya, Mestizos and a growing number of American ex-pats.

Clear your calendar. Pack your lobster bib. You’re going to have the time of your life!
