Toledo is the southernmost district in Belize and its seclusion means that it is one of the least visited destinations in Belize. For some this may not be optimal since they like to experience the hustle and bustle of popular towns and want to be near popular tours, however, for others, this presents the perfect opportunity for off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Fortunately, for those desiring to visit Toledo, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for seclusion. There are few hotels and resorts that cater to luxury travelers.
