Orange
Walk, located in the northern part of the country, is
a Belizean bonanza of natural wealth and archaeological
wonder. Spectacular ancient cities, highlighted by the
temples at Lamanai, evidence the ancient Maya's affinity
for the area. With jungles, rainforests, coastal lagoons,
and rivers, the region is home to an amazing array of
animal and plant life that includes the jaguar and the
manatee. Culturally the north is primarily Maya and
Spanish with the Mennonite farmers adding their old
world flavor to the mix.
