Corozal

Lying a mere 9 miles away from the Mexican border and located in the northern part of the country is the town of Corozal, Belize. If you are someone who enjoys laid back vacations where you can let your hair down and simply cruise the days by then this is the right place for you to go. Be careful though since most people here are very friendly to the extent of offering you marijuana if they see you as someone who has a rather laid back attitude. You can easily say no however since this is just one of their ways of welcoming you.

These bus rides last only an hour and there are a number of buses that ply this route every half an hour or so.
