The little English-speaking country of Belize has long been discovered for its handful of Caribbean islands lying just offshore the mainland, especially Ambergris Caye of “Survivor” fame.
However, now, in the current global climate, another face of Belize is also beginning to attract attention.
This country’s lush, mountainous interior, known as the Cayo District, is drawing the notice of retirees interested in a lifestyle that values self-sufficiency and independence more than Caribbean sand and seashores.
For instance, Cayo is the largest of Belize’s six districts and has quietly become the harbinger of this tiny country.
From natural to manmade, the region is rich in resources.

In short, Cayo has more protected land than any other district; it is the top eco-tourism destination in the country; boasts the largest underground cave system in the western hemisphere; and, of course, its landscape is dominated by rivers and mountains.
More and more, expats are recognizing the smalltown vibe here and are making the migration to down-to-earth, simple living.
As a result, the social fabric is diverse and welcoming. It doesn’t take long to become a part of the community.
