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

Orange Walk is the second-largest district
in Belize. This northwest section of the
country is full of contrasts, from the
ancient Maya sites to the modern-day
Orange Walk Town; from Old Order
Mennonite farmers to large scale sugar
cane plantations; from the flat, dry plains
to thick rainforests and lagoons. For travelers
who love adven-ture and desire to get
off of the beaten path, Orange Walk District is an ideal destination.
Following the Western Highway, travelers to Cayo will find the
adventure center of Belize, rich with tropical foliage, wildlife and
waterfalls. Cayo is home to the largest Maya site in Belize, Caracol,
and the most photographed ruin of
Xunantunich. It also offers some of the best
canoeing, river rafting, hiking, horseback riding
and mountain biking in Belize.
The Thousand Foot Falls, occasionally referred to
as Hidden Valley Falls, is actually 1,600 ft. (480
meters) high, and is believed to be the highest
waterfall in all of Central America. Located in the
Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve, the Falls include a
small store and picnic tables at the public viewpoint,
which is open daily to visitors.
