Barton Creek Outpost Map

Address:

Getting to Barton Creek Outpost can be a challenge, is often an adventure and is always worth the effort. Lonely Planet named us one of the 5 top places to visit in all of Belize. They also said,"It's the sort of place you visit for a day and stay for a week." Don't get sidetracked, get there, you'll be happy you did.

If you are arriving into San Ignacio there are several ways to get to Barton Creek Outpost. The easiest way is to get to Rosa's Hotel in San Ignacio and let them help you out. Typically this will involve them arranging a shuttle for around $30US for up to 4 people. The drive is only about 15 miles but takes about an hour due to the eternally Belizean condition of the road. It is possible that we will be in San Ignacio when you arrive and you can catch a ride to the Outpost with us for only $5BZ per person. Although hitchhiking is common in Belize we do not recommend it to get to Barton Creek Outpost. The road is long, hot and lonely and the majority of people that try to hitchhike in have ended up walking the 9 miles of dirt road, with their packs, wishing they paid the $30. Private shuttles are reasonably priced and available from Belize City.
