Neighbourhood

Our village is a beautiful place to live, mostly because of all the wonderful Belizeans that welcomed us with open arms! Cristo Rey Village is in the jungle region of Belize. While this provides incredible beauty and natural wonders, it also means that heat, humidity, sudden tropical squalls, power outages and water outages are not uncommon (However, we do have a back-up generator, and back-up water supply & pump). We have high speed wi-fi service on the property and in the bungalow. It is fast and reliable! However, if the power to the village goes out, we do lose internet service, but that doesn’t happen often. We strive for a calm, serene & relaxing environment; and most of the time it is just that. However, the local birds are very active as daylight breaks, and the Howler Monkeys can be a bit startling at night. We are also in the middle of a small, but active village. Sometimes the neighboring roosters, dogs, church music, etc. can be heard. For those travelers who are extremely noise sensitive please keep these things in mind.

Nearest airport

Belize City (BZE) However there is a small commuter airport that is currently closed due to the pandemic. It is about a 30 min drive from us - and TropicAir is your only choice which flies from the BZE airport.

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" & “Sandals” two local restaurants that serve made to order local-style meals. A short walk up the road is a place to go horseback riding! 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 @ 75 cents U.S. each way. The shuttle costs @ $1.00 U.S. each way. The ride takes about 15 minutes. Taxi rides run between $10-$12.50 U.S. each way based on daytime or nighttime.

Cheryl & Jeff

We both grew up camping and love nature with all it has to offer. In 2014 we moved to the ‘wilds’ of Belize from the ‘wilds’ of Minnesota. We love animals and would welcome the opportunity to care for pets/animals during an exchange. We currently have one dog and a cat, and only if an exchange is simultaneous we would need our pets cared for (no need for walks, as they roam the 1.6 acre property). Just really need to have a love of dogs & cats....
