Belize City | Northern Belize | Orange Walk/Cayo District/Maya Mountains | Southern Belize | The Cayes

The Northern Highway, one of the best in Belize, connects Belize City with the border of Mexico 90 miles to the north. The two largest towns in
the north, Orange Walk and Corozal, have economies based on sugar cane production and populations of Mexican decent. Orange Walk also has
a large Mennonite community. Fishing and archaeological ruins are the main tourist activities in this largely undiscovered area of Belize.
According to the Belize Tourism Board, northern
Belize actually provides more variety of
nature, history, and culture than any other
district of Belize. Indeed, the north is a
bonanza of natural wealth and archaeological
wonder. Spectacular ancient cities, highlighted
by the temples at Lamanai and Altun Ha,
evidence the ancient Maya's affinity for the
area. Remains of an estimated 600 Mayan settlements
lie scat-tered throughout the two
northern districts of Belize, most neither excavated
nor mapped.
With jungles, rainforests,
coastal lagoons,
and rivers, the region is
home to an amazing
array of animal and
plant life that includes
the jaguar, manatee,
and howler monkeys.
