Why Northern Belize?
Affordability
Northern Belize offers a highly affordable lifestyle, making it an attractive option for property buyers and those looking to relocate. Real estate in areas like Corozal and Orange Walk is significantly more affordable than in many other Caribbean or Central American destinations, with a wide range of options to suit various budgets.
In addition to low housing costs, Belize’s property tax rates are remarkably low, adding to the long-term affordability of owning a home. Furthermore, Belize has no capital gains tax (CGT), meaning any profit made from selling personal property is not taxed, making it even more appealing for investors and retirees. With these financial benefits, Northern Belize offers excellent value for those seeking a cost-effective yet beautiful place to live or invest.
Untouched Beauty
Unlike the more tourist-heavy areas in southern Belize, Northern Belize offers a tranquil and authentic
experience. Its quiet villages, unspoiled landscapes, and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect
destination for travellers and expatriates seeking a more relaxed and intimate adventure.
This off-thebeaten-path charm gives visitors the opportunity to truly connect with nature and culture without the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist spots.
Heritage
One of the primary attractions of Northern Belize is its rich Maya heritage. The region is home to several
well-preserved Maya ruins, such as Lamanai and Cerros, which provide visitors with a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Maya civilization. Lamanai, located on the banks of the New River Lagoon, is especially unique due to its scenic riverside setting.
Visitors can explore impressive temples, plazas, and stone carvings, while also enjoying a boat ride through the lush jungle surroundings. These archaeological sites not only offer historical insight but also create a deep connection with the region’s indigenous past, adding to its cultural allure.
Wildlife
Belize is renowned for its rich and diverse wildlife, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The country is
home to over 500 species of birds, including the vibrant toucan and the rare Jabiru stork, making it a
prime destination for birdwatchers.
Belize's lush rainforests, wetlands, and coral reefs also support a variety of mammals, reptiles, and marine life. Visitors can spot jaguars, howler monkeys, manatees, and crocodiles in their natural habitats. The world-famous Belize Barrier Reef further enhances the
country's biodiversity, housing countless species of fish, corals, and other marine creatures.
Culture
Northern Belize is a cultural melting pot that blends Maya, Mestizo, and Creole traditions. The towns of Orange Walk and Corozal provide a rich cultural experience for visitors, with local festivals, music, and cuisine reflecting the diversity of the region.
Travelers can enjoy traditional Belizean dishes with influences from Maya and Spanish cuisine, while also experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the local communities. This cultural richness not only adds vibrancy to the region but also deepens the travel experience for those interested in learning about the local way of life.
Proximity to Mexico
Adding to its appeal, Northern Belize enjoys a strategic location near the Mexican border, making it an
excellent gateway for those traveling between Belize and Mexico.
Corozal Town, situated near the
border, offers easy access to Chetumal, Mexico, while also providing a blend of Belizean and Mexican
cultural influences.
This proximity enhances the region’s appeal to international travellers, who can
explore the best of both countries
