Neighbourhood

Cristo Rey Village is nestled in a lush jungle between San Ignacio and the Mountain Pine Ridge are of the Cayo District.  Additionally, Cristo Rey was settled by the Mayan and much of that cultural influence still exists. 

There are local eateries & grocers within walking distance.

Cristo Rey boasts a population of approximately 700 mostly ‘Mestizo’ (Mexican + Mayan heritage) residents.  While English is the official language, the villagers grow up speaking Spanish and start learning English formally in school about the age of four.  And you may also hear Kriol and Mayan spoken in the village.

Getting Around

On any given day you'll see kids going door-to-door selling homemade goodies, or veggies from their gardens.  The tortilla man delivers fresh tortillas twice a day (Sun-Fri) - for 95 cents U.S. a pound!  

There is a small convenience grocery store directly across the road from us.  There you'll find just about everything you need for simple meals.

Just a short walk down the road is "Carm's" a local restaurant that serves made to order local-style meals.  

About a mile down the road is a local spot called "The Showers" - a waterfall area, that very few tourists know about.  

Once here, the bus and shuttle service stop right in front of our property from 7am to about 5pm daily, Mon-Saturday.  (There is no public transportation available on Sunday, other than taxi service)  The bus costs @ $1 U.S. each way.  The shuttle costs @ $1.00 U.S. each way.  The ride takes about 15 minutes.  Taxi rides run between $10-$15.00 U.S. each way based on daytime or nighttime.

If you’re dreaming of a jungle bungalow where you can hear wild life and sounds of a flowing river, this is your dream destination. Cheryl was very accommodating and we very much enjoyed getting to know the country of Belize at their lodge. The bungalow was beautifully decorated and the location was great. We were able to walk a few minutes for food or get a quick taxi ride into San Ignacio. Most tour guide companies would also pick you up at this location. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!
