Approval is in place for up to 72 parcels. A few may be set aside for shared community use such as internet antennas, extra wells and community farming.

- Recreation and open space of about 39 acres across north and south

Built to a standard
All homes follow the community's approved standards: concrete Mediterranean-style construction with a minimum of 500 square feet of living space. Plans go through the Architectural Review Board. Owners are bound by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Easements and Building Guidelines, which we provide before you buy.
Sustainable by design
Minimal impact on the land is a goal. Community restrooms, the patio and street lighting are planned to run on renewable sources, and owners are encouraged to add solar, wind and other green building features. Onsite farming and river fishing let residents live partly off the land.

Explore Belize
A base for the whole country.
Camino sits in the middle of mainland Belize, so rainforest, caves, ruins and the coast are all within a day trip.
Close to the capital
Belmopan is ten miles away, with restaurants, services, hospitals, government agencies and the U.S. Embassy.
Adventure on the doorstep
Nature and animal preserves, beaches, Maya ruins and caves are all within about 40 miles. River tubing and bird-watching start at the property.
Reef and islands
The longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere is a short trip away for diving, snorkeling and island days.
Camino Del Rio, about 10 miles from Belmopan.
Visiting season
The main tourist season runs December through May, the dry season, when lodging averages around 90% occupancy. That is also the best window for a site visit.
Retire, vacation or invest
Belize has a retiree program that welcomes foreign residents, and homes for vacation rental are in short supply. Camino homes can work as a primary home, a second home or a rental. Speak with a Belize attorney about residency and rental rules for your situation.
