Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Benque has a really smooth looking, high resolution map on their new website. The Benque Viejo Tourism Committee has a good mission: develop Benque Viejo del Carmen as a unique and attractive destination ensuring sustainable development through responsible tourism that will allow visitors and the local community to benefit from the experience of the local culture and heritage while retaining the small town charm as well as allowing for convenient access to the surrounding attractions.  Now they just need more hotels and restaurants that people can go to after visiting Xunantunich, Actun Chapat, Poustinia Art Part, and Lake Benque. 

In related news, Benque has gotten over 2 million dollars from the Belize Municipal Development Project, which they are planning to use to upgrade the sidewalks around Centennial Park and for the paving of some streets which are part of the Heritage Tour.

The Benque Viejo Tourism Committee will be launching the new tourism plan, website, travel guide, and Heritage Tour for Benque tomorrow at 2:00pm in Centennial Park.  This is a monumental event for Benque, and Cayo, because Benque will be another tourism destination.  Lake Benque is on its way to becoming a major tourist attraction too.  Everyone is invited.

They have a new fb page: https://www.facebook.com/BenqueViejoDelCarmen
