About Cristo Rey / Mountain Pine Ridge

Cristo Rey is a village and road corridor running south of San Ignacio along the Macal River toward the dramatic Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, a landscape of pine-clad hills, waterfalls and caves. The area attracts buyers seeking acreage, elevation, river frontage and seclusion within reach of town, including a cluster of upscale jungle lodges. The investment thesis is large-parcel land and eco-estates: hillside and riverfront acreage and villas trade roughly USD 160,000-450,000, with raw land lower, offering scale impossible to find on the coast at these prices. Lodge and rental income supplements 5-8% yields, and appreciation rides Cayo's growth as access improves. Foreigners take full freehold, pay 8% stamp tax and owe no capital-gains tax on resale.
