"The meeting gathered over twenty four participants (members and supporters) of the Cayo chapter, with the aim of electing a new board which would be responsible for the leadership and direction of the destination.  Ms. Estela Requena, BTIA Executive Director presided over the meeting and emphasized on the importance of the active participation of all members, in order to build a stronger and more influential chapter.  'The BTIA stands at the forefront of the industry and it is of great importance that the Chapter is organized and active in order to strengthen the destination and the country,' commented Ms. Requena."

Maya Mountain Jungle Lodge has some beautiful grounds just outside of town, on the Cristo Rey road.  Their 8 cabins are nicely done, and provide a natural and rustic feeling, and they have a dormatory for larger groups.  They've recently been taken over by the same family that runs Cayo Adventure Tours, so you know the tours they offer will be guided well.
