Most real estate transactions in Belize are cash sales. That said, there are opportunities with financing available.

When buying Belize Real Estate, it is advised to work with a Belize Real Estate agent and Closing Company. When buying land or property in Belize the real estate agent will draft a formal offer of purchase or agreement of sale and present it to the land owner. The Belize real estate agent will require the full name and address of both the “Purchaser” and the “Seller” with the legal name of the property (Lot Number & Parcel Number). The property will have an identification number which is given by the Department of Lands and Survey Office. Standard land and real estate agreements include a property title search.

On the Vaca Plateau, 152 meters above sea level, Caracol is the largest archaeological site in Belize. The ruins of this Mayan city are tucked deep in the jungles of the Chiquibul National Park, near the Guatemalan border. It’s interesting to note that Caracol was once larger than Belize City and supported twice its population. The warriors of Caracol were known for their military victories, defeating both the powerful cities of Tikal and Naranjo. Today, visitors can see the carved altar stone depicting these victories. Another interesting feature is the 43-meter-high Caana (Sky Palace) pyramid, Caracol’s tallest structure. It’s also the tallest human-made structure in all of Belize and offers breathtaking vistas of the site and surrounding jungle from the top. Although Caracol was abandoned by its human inhabitants centuries ago, the ruins are teeming with wildlife. Cats, howler monkeys, and many birds are found in the forest here, and toucans often inhabit the pyramids. Beyond Caracol, a series of limestone karst caves are believed to be the largest of their kind in the Western Hemisphere.

Belize is a very easy country to travel to and US & Canadian travelers do not require any visas when traveling to Belize. Actually, most countries and passports are able to travel to Belize freely and without a visa for 30 days. If you are visiting Belize as a tourist, you do not require a visa. When you enter Belize, you are issued a 30-day tourist visa in your passport. If visitors planning to stay longer than 30 days, they must have their passport re-stamped by a local immigration office. If you are extending your Belize stay longer than 30 days, the passport must be issued a new stamp, and pay an additional fee for every additional month they wish to stay. Visitors are able to continue to renew their tourist visa if they want to stay in Belize, without restrictions on length (as long as they get their visa renewed).
