The Cayo District is located in western Belize and borders Guatemala. It is the largest district in Belize and contains the nation's capital, Belmopan. The district's economy relies heavily on agriculture, particularly the growing of citrus, bananas, and other crops. Ecotourism is also important, with attractions including the Blue Hole, various Maya ruins such as Xunantunich, and opportunities for activities like hiking, canoeing, and bird watching.
