Belize District

The Belize District serves as the point of entry for most international visitors to Belize who unfortunately leave the district as fast as they arrive. The largest city in the country and the old capital, Belize City, which serves as the hub of business and finance for the country, can sometimes overshadow the rest of the district. The numerous villages, dotted along the Belize River Valley and old Northern Highway, are richly steeped in history, culture and tradition. The network of lagoons, creeks and rivers are homes to abundant wildlife and natural beauty. So, before you are whisked away to another part of this jewel, take time to explore the nooks and crannies of this district.
