Local knowledge for San Ignacio
Where to stay
Most budget accommodation clusters on and just off Burns Avenue, the main commercial strip running through the town center, putting you within walking distance of tour operators, restaurants, and the market by the Macal River. Santa Elena, across the Hawkesworth Bridge, has a handful of cheaper guesthouses if you don't mind a short walk back into town.
Getting around
- Tour prices for ATM Cave vary a lot between operators, and most of them have offices or storefronts right on Burns Avenue. Walk a few doors down and compare quotes before committing to anyone.
- The Saturday market near the river is the best spot for a cheap, filling local breakfast. Get there before 9 a.m. for the best selection of fresh tamales and fry jacks.
- Colectivo vans running between San Ignacio and Belize City are a fraction of the cost of a shuttle. They leave when full from the town center, so budget extra time but save real money on the journey.
When to go
Hostels fill up and prices climb from late December through April when the weather is dry, especially around Christmas and Easter week. June through October is the rainy season and the slowest period for tourism, so you'll find the most availability and lowest rates, with September typically being the quietest month.
