Good to know before you book
- Tickets go on sale about two weeks before travel. If you search a later date and find no bus, it is not on sale yet; check again closer to the day.
- On this site the route is sold from Mexico to Belize only. For the trip back, buy your ticket locally in Belize City.
- Bring your passport. You cross the Mexico–Belize border on the way. Check the entry rules for your nationality, and any exit or entry fees, before you travel.
- Public holidays can change the timetable.
