Located in northern Belize, the Orange Walk District is home to steamy jungle rivers, a wide variety of wildlife, and some of Belize’s most important Maya ruins such as La Milpa, Belize’s third largest Mayan city.
The area is also populated with farms growing Citrus fruits, potatoes and soybeans but the biggest cash crop is sugar cane and the Orange Walk town is even nicknamed ‘Sugar City’. Guests can spend each day and night being an intrepid jungle explorer in search of the incredible wildlife, before returning to a first-class lodge where a delicious organic dinner and a fine bottle of red await.
The Orange Walk is a remote area and requires substantial travel to reach the remote jungle lodges however, the journey is all part of the fun. For those looking for an off the beaten track holidays to Belize, it is definitely worth the transfer by river and boat, stopping off the incredible Lamanai ruins which were once the biggest and longest inhabited Maya Ceremonial site. The birdlife is amazing here too and it is the area that will give you the best chance of catching a glimpse of the jaguar. And, if budget allows, a charter plane back to the coast is just an incredible way to depart the area and gives you the most wonderful bird’s eye view of the vast jungle.
