Belize Program Resources

If you have any questions, please contact our team at info@thegreenprogram.com

✈️ Preparing to Travel

    • Course Catalog: Course information, General Health & Safety, Packing List & more


      • Lodging Recommendations:(if you want to extend your stay pre or post your program) - Please review

      these properties and make your own decisions based on amenities, cost, and location. There is typically a fee ranging from $25-$40 USD

      for the taxi to and from the airport or anywhere in between if accommodations don't offer a group airport transfer service. Please note, our

      team at TGP has not stayed at these locations and cannot provide personal recommendations for these accommodations but are only

      providing suggestions in the relative area should you choose to arrive early or extend your stay. It is solely student responsibility to

      research and determine any extra lodging accommodations before or after the program dates. Please reach out to our team at

      info@thegreenprogram.com for more information.

        • Best Western

          • Black Orchid (meals eaten at hotel as there are no restaurants around)

            • The Easy Inn


              • Travel & Medical Insurance: Students have had good experiences booking their travel medical insurance through World Nomads.


                • If you attend SDSU, please purchase travel insurance through SDSU via Aztecs Abroad


                  • We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend

                  that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.


                    • If needed, we recommend you ask your travel medical insurance provider about virtual counseling options, if gender-affirming care is

                    included, and access to a network of recommended healthcare providers where they will be traveling, etc.

                    If it is not included, you can also look into private options, such as BetterHelp.


                      • Flights: Students have had good experiences booking their flight through StudentUniverse.


                        • TGP will offset your flight's CO2 flight emissions when booking with them


                          * TGP recommends that you wait to book your flights until after the enrollment deadline passes; if a program does not have enough

                          participants to proceed, we will reach out to you directly. Typically, the enrollment deadline is approximately 8 weeks before the program's

                          start date. For more information, please contact your TGP representative or our team at info@thegreenprogram.com. Additionally, TGP

                          strongly encourages students to consider purchasing travel/flight insurance with "Cancel for any reason" coverage as an extra precaution.


                            • As of January 20, 2025, the U.S. Federal Government passed an executive order that no longer issues U.S. passports or Consular

                            Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBAs) with an X sex marker. Please read the information from the U.S. State Department regarding

                            sex markers in passports. Note: Current passports with sex marker X cannot guarantee an individual's entry or transit through

                            other countries
