Belize or Costa Rica

topic posted Thu, January 17, 2008 - 2:36 PM by  David
I have been reading many of the fellow Triber's post regarding Costa Rica and Belize all have been very helpful. I wanted to know if anyone could recommend one country over the other or if anyone could share stories of journeys to and from each country. Anything will help, i am pretty intent on travelling through both countries...Blessed Love...

    Generally, Belize is "easier" to do, but Costa Rica is cheaper. So it kind of depends on what kind of traveling you are doing...adventure or more of a vacation....

      I don't think Costa Rica has the sort of stunning snorkeling/scuba that Belize has, does it?

      The snorkeling in Belize is beyond amazing.

      Likewise, Belize does not have the incredible jungles like Costa Rica.

      I don't think you can loose with either trip!

        Belize or Costa Rica:

        BOTH!

        Although BZE is a bit more expensive, it offers better snork/scuba.

        Bze is great for Maya ruins and scuba, but NOT beaches.
        If you want beach and jungle go to Costa Rica or Panama is equally amazing!

          I liked them both.
          But Belize a bit better

            Been to both and decided to buy and live 1/2 time in BZ- in the mountains. Jungle? You want jungle, you get jungle and wildlife. plus more.

            I would gently argue that Belize is COMPARABLE in cost with Costa Rica. BTDT and my sis is looking for a space in Costa Rica because of the geologic (volcanic) features but prefers BZ for the water sports off shore. I went for balance and my natural interests and I'd not second guess myself ever on Belize.

            Belize hands down. Evil grin- I have absolutely no biases... oh no, not me... HAHAHAHAHA!

            Good luck and be happy! I am... ; - )
