Welcome
Punta Gorda Town is located
on the west coast of the Caribbean Sea in Southern Belize. It is
geographically part of the Gulf of Honduras. The town is the administrative capital of the Toledo
District.
Punta Gorda is the
gateway to the attractions that abound in the Toledo district.
From off-shore fishing, to river trips to caving, birding and Maya
Archaeological sites - the Toledo district and Punta Gorda offer
everything a visitor to Belize will expect to find. To top it all off,
Toledo is a district not only filled with natural beauty in abundance but
also home to some of the nicest people. Here Maya, Garifuna and East Indian
Belizeans live harmoniously while maintaining their individual cultures.
Punta Gorda functions as the
economical center for the surrounding villages. People from an area of 900
square miles commute daily to the district capital for work and trade
.
