Driving to Placencia from Belize City:
Start out going west from Belize City on the Western
Highway toward Belmopan. Out of Belmopan, go
south/southeast on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway
to Dangriga – snaking through the mountains and some
of Belize’s most gorgeous countryside scenery.
Once you reach the other side of the mountains at
approximately 48 miles, you will come to the Southern
Highway junction. Turn right onto the Southern Highway
and follow it south to Placencia/Punta Gorda for about 22
miles until you reach the turn off for Riversdale/Placencia.
Take a left onto the Riversdale/Placencia road(non-paved)
and continue on for another 9 miles to Riversdale, turn
right and continue on for about 4 miles to The Placencia
Resort. When you see our long white wall, you'll know
you’ve reached your destination.
Although drive time is approximately 3 hours, there are so
many places to stop and see you may want to schedule a
little more time for sight-seeing along the way..

From Belize City to Placencia, Belize - Map
| Western & Hummingbird Highway Attractions As You Drive to Placencia, Belize |
Driving from Belize City to Placencia is very rewarding and affords you the opportunity to experience
sights and sounds you'll cherish for a lifetime. Directly west of Belize City is the
Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and the Community Baboon Sanctuary which offers an
up-close-and-personal opportunity to experience the rain forest and witness Black Howler Monkeys
in the wild. The Community Baboon Sanctuary is a community project in Belize where locals have
committed their lands to protecting the habitat of the endangered Black Howler Monkeys.
On your way to Belmopan, you could also spend hours and hours visiting the Belize Zoo and
learning about the myriad of birds, wildlife and reptiles native to this fascinating country of Belize.
Although you may have the opportunity during your stay to observe each and every critter in their
natural habitat, the Belize Zoo offers you the ability to see these unique creatures in one convenient
location. Once turning south out of Belmopan, the mesmerizing Hummingbird Highway will snake its
way through the mountains of Belize and offers diverse and culturally enriched attractions of its own.
You could spend days if you wanted visiting St. Herman's Blue Hole National Park, 5 Blues Lake
National Park and St. Margaret's Village.
And then a little ways past the Riversdale/Placencia turnoff on the Southern Highway you'll find wild
jaguars at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.
But you might want to save that for tomorrow, after relaxing in your private Placencia sea front villa
for the night.
