getting there
By plane
The plan has been around for a long time San Ignacio (Belize) to build a runway. Unfortunately, this has not yet been implemented. So if you really want to travel by plane, you would have to charter a plane and land on one of the pastures in the area.
By bus
The bus station is in San Ignacio (Belize). Actually all bus routes that run between the border and Belize City When traveling along the Western Highway, stop at the central bus stop at Coronation Park. The NTSL, BBOC, Middleton's Transport and Shaw bus routes run every hour. Taking for the ride from Belize City to San Ignacio you have to plan about 2.5 hours.
In the street
Since Santa Elena is right on the Western Highway, it is very easy to get to with your own vehicle. When traveling on to San Ignacio (Belize) It should be noted that the correct bridge is selected for the Macal River crossing. The old Low River Bridge runs from Santa Elena to San Ignacio, while the new Hawkesworth Bridge runs in the opposite direction.
