Touring the ATM Cave in Belize

Touring the ATM Cave in Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Great article about Actun Tunichil Muknal, one of the coolest sights on Earth.  Needless to say, the author was blown away...to the point of using expletives...and she did work in 'unBelizeable' into the article too.

 

"Now, I did a lot of cool s#%t in Belize. I snorkeled with sharks, turtles, manatees, and rays in Caye Caulker, climbed a mountain, hiked through the jungle at night, let a tarantula crawl up my arm without fainting, and explored ancient Maya temples, Indiana Jones-style. OK, that last one was technically Guatemala but it still counts.  However, one more–exploring the ATM Cave in Belize—is among not just the coolest things I did in Belize, but one of the most unbelizeable experiences of MY LIFE."

A Belizean Adventure

Video of the day.  Great GoPro video of a trip around Belize.  The time lapse photography at Caracol is done well.  The first half of the video is Cayo, and you'll see plenty of familiar sights.  The Hawkesworth Bridge is on there, and Rio On Pools, along with Caves Branch, and the Waterfall Cave. 


"We tackled the muddy roads, steep stairs, deep caves, and coral reefs of San Ignacio, Caracol, Caves Branch, Caye Caulker, and Ambergris Caye."

Belize DPV Giant Cave Dive

Wicked video of the week!  They went all around the huge underwater cave under Caye Caulker!  Some cool footage there.  

 

"A first take of some of the video footage we filmed with Wellun and Chip in Belize.  Entry level old camera and not enough lights, but turned out pretty alright.  We train and dive worldwide and always welcome professional media teams to join us in some of the coolest and scenic places on the planet.  You can find us at Expedition Divers on Facebook, and when in Belize contact Chip at Belize Diving Services to experience the best of underwater Belize.

Offshore Oil Banned

Offshore Oil Banned | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Score one for the sustainability of Belize!  Offshore drilling has been banned in all 7 World Heritage areas along the Belize Barrier Reef System.  Great move.  Thanks to all those that worked for years to organize voices and get them heard, causing this to happen.


Here are the World Heritage Sites:

1. Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve and National Park
2. Caye Caulker Marine Reserve and National Park
3. Lighthouse Reef Natural Monument
4. South Water Caye Marine Reserve
5. Laughing Bird Caye National Park
6. Glovers Reef Marine Reserve
7. Sapodilla Caye Marine Reserve


"At its cabinet meeting yesterday, the Belize government approved a policy that will legally ban offshore exploration in all seven areas that make up the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System World Heritage area. The decision will effectively exclude the entire World Heritage area from any future oil exploration and make the site consistent with the World Heritage Committee’s position that oil exploration is incompatible with World Heritage status."

Belize on '10 Relaxing Solo Vacations' List

Belize on '10 Relaxing Solo Vacations' List | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Belize made it on another top 10 list, although this list proves that the makers of top 10 lists have run out of ideas.  Really, '10 Relaxing Solo Vacations For New Divorcees?'  And Belize isn't in South America!  Maybe the Huffington Post needs a new copy editor.  At least San Ignacio got some recognition.

 

"Like Costa Rica, Belize -- a South American travel destination that's recently become a trendy hub of sustainable tourism -- has a lot to offer the single traveler.  Belize boasts the beauty and tranquility of a tropical getaway without the crowds, couples and high cost.  Experience the local flavor by touring through Caye Caulker, San Pedro and San Ignacio, and make sure to schedule some R&R time at the country's stunning beaches and nature preserves.  If you're feeling daring, don't miss adventure activities like climbing ancient Mayan ruins and ziplining through the rainforest."
