Punta Gorda to Guastatoya

This cross-border corridor connects the Toledo district of Belize, with its main hub in Punta Gorda, to the Guatemalan department of El Progreso, terminating in Guastatoya. Its strategic importance lies in linking the Caribbean access of Central America with the industrial highlands of Guatemala, facilitating trade between the Northern and Central American markets. The region's economy is driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and natural resource extraction, creating a consistent demand for specialized logistics. Key transportation infrastructure includes the George Price Highway in Belize and the Inter-American Highway system in Guatemala, which form the backbone of this route.
