The Cayo District District Hub: San Ignacio Home to the capital, the City of Belmopan, Cayo District’s picturesque small towns, lush tropical forest, and winding rivers are sure to charm you. As the smallest capital in the Americas, Belmopan’s central location makes it a perfect day trip for your adventures whether hiking or exploring limestone cave system at nearby National Parks. Further West takes you to Belize’s “breadbasket,” the colorful twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena, connected by the iconic 1949 Hawksworth Bridge over the pristine Macal River. As the district that borders Guatemala, Cayo inspires irresistible Latin and Maya flavors that go on full-display every Saturday morning at the local farmer’s market in San Ignacio with stalls from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
