The town of Corozal itself occupies the foundations of the ancient city of Santa Rita.
Another Maya site, Cerros overlooks whitecapped Corozal Bay. It was traditionally the heart of the country’s sugar industry.
Home of the Free-Zone, with its convenient location 9 miles from the Mexican border it is the gateway to Mexico’s Riviera Maya .
Close by is the picturesque fishing village of Sarteneja and the Shipstern Nature Reserve. Both worth a visit.
