The Cayo District: Belize’s Wild Heart

Located in western Belize, the Cayo District is the country’s largest and most ecologically diverse region. It stretches from verdant lowland jungles to the scenic Mountain Pine Ridge, where pine forests, waterfalls, and limestone cliffs create a highland escape unlike any other part of the country. This is Belize’s adventure hub—a place known for its lush landscapes, rich wildlife, and ancient Mayan heritage. The region is home to national parks, cave systems, sprawling river valleys, and archaeological sites like Caracol and Xunantunich. Getting to Cayo is part of the adventure. Most travelers arrive via Belize’s Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), the countries only internatioanl airport. From there, it's a scenic drive roughly 2.5 to 3 hours to your jungle lodge stay. In this area is where you’ll find some of Belize’s most unique accommodations: jungle lodges that offer immersive stays far from the crowds, in direct connection with nature.  Staying at a jungle lodge offers a kind of retreat you can’t find elsewhere. Think early morning hikes to secret waterfalls, wildlife sightings just steps from your cabin, and starry skies unspoiled by light pollution. It’s a chance to unplug, reconnect, and feel grounded in nature.
