Belize's The Cayo
The Cayo
Few could imagine the immense allure this region would boast when jungle lodges first opened on its soil, however, after only several years, the Cayo and its mountainous beauty stand as one of the country’s most destined locations, second only to Ambergris Caye.
Just several miles from the country’s capital, The Cayo is a breathtaking region running along the Belize River, where cattle graze on steep hillsides and horses snort happily in the sunshine. Suddenly, four wheel drive is needed to traverse the roads and the Creole people of the coast give way to a distinctly Maya people in heritage. This is when you know you are far from the modern capital and deep within the land of the Maya.
The lost world of this ancient civilization springs to life in the Cayo, as haunting ruins and lush jungle envelopes the area. Hike through the dense jungle, ride horseback along the trails, canoe down the Macal and wander through majestic caves. This is the Cayo, and its mysteries are yours to uncover.
