Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Video of the day.  Cecil 'Zeebo' has his My Sweet Belize video out, and it's shot mostly around Cayo.  It tells a story of community friendship, and much of it takes place at Branch Mouth and along 2nd street.  The National Channel produced the video.

They have the trailer out for the next Maya Mountain Adventure Challenge, which is the test of ultimate will that spans over 220 miles around Belize.  Cayo is the setting in the trailer.  The race will start in San Ignacio, and go all around the Maya Mountains, where the teams will hike, bike, rapel, and canoe to get to the finish line. 

You can see Xunantunich, Caracol, Rio Frio Cave, San Ignacio, Rio On Pools, Branch Mouth Park, the Hawkesworth Bridge, and many other sites.  They interview Rafael Manzanero, from the Friends of Conservation and Develompment about the idea.  They did a great job on the epic trailer.

The new Branch Mouth bridge has been finished.  Quite an improvement over the old one, and it's higher too, so floods shouldn't be a problem.

"The new bridge at Branch Mouth is done. Their doing the last finishing touches today. It's around 2 meters higher, so it should be able to weather the floods better."
