Introducing Orange Walk
Nestled on a bend in the New River (the old one seems to have gone missing), Orange Walk is a small, fairly unremarkable town surrounded by citrus, papaya and sugarcane plantations. The country’s biggest rum distillery is here, but most tourists are in town for the fascinating boat trip to the ruins at Lamanai.

The Northern Hwy, called Queen Victoria Ave in town, serves as the main road. The center of town is shady Central Park, on the east side of Queen Victoria Ave. The town hospital is in the northern outskirts, readily visible on the west side of Northern Hwy.
