Sittee River Village in Southern BelizeThe Sittee River is the name of both a river in central Belize as well as a village that is located on its banks. The watershed of the Sittee River begins in the Maya Mountains and the river empties into the Caribbean near the village of Hopkins in southeastern Belize. Sittee River Village and the nearby village of Hopkins are primarily inhabited by the Creole and Garifuna people, two closely related but distinctive Afro-Caribbean cultures that formed during the colonial era. Due to the fact that the road to Sittee River Village is unpaved, it may be hard to access some sections of the river following heavy rainstorms. Best Way to Get to Sittee RiverThe most common way for visitors to get to the Sittee River is to head south from the village of Hopkins until arriving at Sittee River Village approximately one mile from the coast.
