Belize holiday and honeymoons; An expert guide to Lamanai and the Orange Walk district
 Click here for Lamanai Lodge Review
Orange Walk in the northwest corner of Belize is the most remote and wild district of them all. The impressive Mayan ruins of Lamanai lie within a vast impenetrable jungle, accessible only by boat. The protected area is home to countless species of wildlife but is best known for its prolific birding opportunities. Lamanai itself is a mysterious place and the views from the top of its temples are some of the best in Belize. Orange Walk borders Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in the north. Towards the border wildlife sanctuaries are interspersed by sugar cane plantations and isolated Mennonite farming communities that live a simple life, unchanged for centuries. THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN ORANGE WALK:Lamanai. Taking a boat trip along the New River to reach Lamanai is an experience in itself, with plenty of wildlife opportunities. The site itself is now encroached by jungle but was one of the longest inhabited Mayan citadels with over 3200 years of continual settlement.Community Baboon Sanctuary. This grass roots project at Bermudian Landing was started to protect the dwindling local howler monkey population and is a great place to see the primates up close. Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary. The ‘Crooked Trees’ are small cashew nut plantations set around a large lagoon, whose wetlands offer some of the best birding in Belize amid beautiful rural scenery.Chan Chich Jungle Lodge and Nature Reserve. Set in an impressive 200 sq miles of private reserve, this was one of Belize’s original eco-lodges and remains among the very best. Luxurious accommodation set in a Mayan temple plaza and surrounded by your own private jungle.
