One of the first questions you ask when discussing a destination is “How far is it?”
The Belize Driving Distance Calculator, is a useful website that calculates the distance and provides a driving map between any two addresses, places, cities, villages, towns or airports in Belize. Straight-line and driving routes are shown on the map. Below is a screenshot of my search for the distance between Benque Viejo and Belize City.
Here are their simple instructions for use:
- Enter the “Distance From” city, village, town, airport or place name from Belize in the first text box.
- Enter the “Distance To” city, village, town, airport or place name from Belize in the second text box.
- You can also enter airport name or code from Belize in above fields.
- This will display the dropdown with suggested places in Belize; Select the desired address from the dropdown lists.
- Click the “Get Distance & Directions” button to get the distance between the selected addresses /places /cities /towns /villages /airports in Belize.
Below is the information I received for the above search, except for the kilometer-per-hour conversion, 47mph. For that, I entered the kilometer number into the box here on a km/mi conversion site for the miles per hour.
Distance From: Benque Viejo and Distance To: Belize City
Driving Distance: 125.23 km , Estimated Duration: 1 hours 38 minutes if average speed is 76km/hr. [47mph]
Different Units: 125.23 km, 77.82 mi, 67.62 nmi.
Flight or air distance: 111.18 km / 69.08 miles / 59.99 nautical miles.
Check the map provided to make sure it shows the route you wish to travel.
If it doesn’t, break the search into segments that include the route you want to take, then add the segment distances together, plus the 10.5 miles from BIB to Benque, to find the total distance from BIB to your destination. Don’t forget to add the current Hydro Road travel time to your figures. When it’s in good condition, you can do it in about half an hour. When it’s in poor condition, estimate an hour.
