Rainforest in Belize

Toledo, the southern district of Belize, has 1,669 square kilometers of rainforest, mountains, rivers, and Mayan villages. Toledo residents often refer to their home as "the land of the forgotten" - it is the least visited destination in Belize.

As it is the least popular and least developed region in the country, Toledo is undoubtedly for the uncommon tourist. However, for those with the adventurous spirit of dirt roads, Toledo's natural and cultural diversity makes a unique visit to southern Belize a unique adventure. The land was covered with some of the most pristine tropical forests in Belize. The Northwest highlands consist of the hills of the Mayan Mountains bordered by limestone outcrops - rugged, unexplored territory.
