Pilgrimage Valley is a small Mennonite settlement in Cayo District, Belize, some 5 km east of San Ignacio.

It was founded in 1965 by 10 German speaking Mennonite families to escape increasing secularism.

Some came from other Mennonite Colonies in Belize, others from North America (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arkansas and Ontario),[1] namely the Stoll, Martin, Wanner and Mill families, who were very large, one father e.g. had 22 children.

Roessingh writes: "… the interesting thing about these Mennonites is the fact that they had a 'different kind of background'.

[2] Constant theft of livestock became an existential threat to the settlement and many left, going either back to North America, to Upper Barton Creek or elsewhere.
