Birding Belize
Belize & Ecotourism Cayo is the largest of the six districts that make up Belize .... Geographically the largest and most fertile district in Belize, Cayo spans more than 2,000 square miles across diverse terrain - from rolling hills and sweeping farmland devoted to citrus orchards and cattle farming, to lush river valleys and rugged mountain ridges covered in sub-tropical jungle.
The area of Cayo was previously named by the Spanish “El Cayo” same name as they used to describe the offshore islands. However, now these days we locally refer to the town of San Ignacio as Cayo. The district is in a peninsula between two converging rivers and mostly surrounded by the forests.
Jungle Tours
The Land...
Much of Cayo consists of broadleaf jungle overlying limestone formations. These formations are a result of an uplifting of ancient coral beds during the past 20 million years. Over time, flowing water has gradually dissolved the limestone, forming underwater rivers, sinkholes, and the Spectacular Caves for which Cayo is famous.

Towns & People ...
San Ignacio is the hub of commerce and tourism for western Belize, and together with its sister town - Santa Elena - make up the largest populated area in Cayo District with12,000 residents. Located along the banks of the Macal River , on a series of bluffs, San Ignacio and Santa Elena are at an elevation high enough to be noticeably cooler and less humid than the low-lying coastal plains.
San Ignacio Town
Known locally as "Cayo", San Ignacio is located along the Western Highway about 70 miles west and 90 minutes drive time from Belize City and 9 miles east of the Guatemalan border. Teeming with archaeologists, peace corps workers, North American retirees and thrill seekers, "Cayo" is a unique blend of America's Old West and tropical backwater with frontier-like wooden shops on narrow streets.
Three of Belize's most important rivers flow through the Cayo District. The Mopan flows from Guatemala, the Macal from the Maya mountains and they both meet just North of San Ignacio to form the Belize River. Spanning the Macal river and linking San Ignacio to Santa Elena is the only suspension bridge in Belize, the one- lane Hawksworth bridge.

Testimonial
"We wish to express our thanks to you and Linda for arranging our vacation to Belize (Cayo district) at such short notice. We had a wonderful time and have great memories both in pictures, in our minds and hearts. Our warmest regards to Carlos and his friend Kenya for a wonderful trip to Hopkins and to the Belize Zoo on the final day.
The Windy Hill Resort, exceeded our expectations, both in terms of the wonderful ambience, the food, the gardens, and of course the excellent service of the staff.
Our tour guides, Lion and Hugo were exceptional. Their professionalism, knowledge and warmth was the dream of any visitor looking for personal guides.
