The sun shines brightly in the Caribbean – be sure to bring sunscreen and sunglasses. Many of the national parks will have opportunities for swimming, either at a beach , a lagoon, or a waterfall , so bring a swimsuit.
You should also have comfortable hiking shoes, a camera, and plenty of water. Remember, even if there are drinking fountains, it is not always safe to drink the water in Belize. Make sure you have enough bottled water to stay hydrated throughout your entire hike.
