San Ignacio Belize

Welcome to Western Belize

where adventure meets culture and nature thrives!

Nestled in the Cayo District, San Ignacio Town is renowned for its warm hospitality, vibrant culture, cozy accommodations, delectable cuisine, and an abundance of thrilling adventure tours. Alongside Santa Elena Town, our destination forms the largest urban area in Belize, offering a diverse tapestry of experiences waiting to be explored.

Getting Here

Linked by Three Bridges and traversed by the Western Highway stretching to the Belize-Guatemala border, San Ignacio serves as the perfect base for embarking on a Tikal Tour in Petén, Guatemala.

Just a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive from the Philip Goldson International Airport in Belize District, San Ignacio welcomes travelers with open arms. The recent addition of the Loma Luz Boulevard bridge further connects Santa Elena and San Ignacio, providing seamless access to both towns.

The Mopan River, originating from the Petén district in Guatemala, meanders through the Cayo District, merging with the Macal River at the picturesque Branch Mouth — a serene spot for a refreshing swim. Nearby, the Xunantunich Archaeological Site ferry offers passage across the Mopan River, serving as a gateway to thrilling river tubing, swimming, and canoeing adventures.
