Western Belize
The Cayo District of Belize is the place to head to experience Belize's lush rainforest and stay in a jungle lodge.
San Ignacio is the main town here and the gateway to the region, with links to Flores in neighbouring Guatemala and on to Belize City via the Western Highway.
In addition to the beautiful forests, this region of Belize is also home to vast underground cave systems and Caracol, the most extensive Mayan ruins in Belize.
The Cayo District is a magnet for adventure lovers, with Zip-lining, horse-riding mountain biking and kayaking amongst the many activities on offer.
