Cayo Belize
Cayo: this place is full of winding rivers, majestic waterfalls, mysterious caves and breath-taking mountains that engulf a tiny national capital and grand Maya cities. With surroundings so intimate, you can be one with all these genuine experiences.
Explore the largest district in Belize (home of the capital city of Belmopan), and you will come across numerous eco-tourism adventures. With a massive 880,000 acres of protected land (consisting of nature reserves and national parks), this district is an adventure traveler’s dream. Here, one can explore temples by day and visit nearby beaches of adjoining districts by sunset.
This area’s accommodations range from VIP-level jungle lodges to small resorts and intimate campsites. The lively twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena and the quiet border town of Benque Viejo del Carmen provide glimpses into the lives of the friendly residents. From these towns, one can explore pine forests, clear rivers, rocky plateaus, ceremonial caves, towering mountains, cascading waterfalls and ancient Maya temples.
