Access is also possible from Belize. Border crossings can be subject to considerable delays. The buses used by some companies are comfortable and air-conditioned, but it is vital to book as far in advance as possible for every stage of the journey. Air transport is by far the most efficient means of internal travel since there are over 380 airstrips. Private charter flights are available.
Traffic drives on the right.
There is an extensive road network but less than a third of the roads are all-weather. Many of the roads are made from volcanic ash, and therefore very muddy during the rains.
