Belize, Please | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

'Adventure during the day, luxury at night' is how Denver Life magazine explains spending time in Cayo.  Many local businesses get raving reviews, including Mountain Equestrian Trails and the San Ignacio Resort Hotel.  On the food front, Crave was highly recommended. 

 

"Explore a cave! Exploring the Belize caves with a headlamp is like the ultimate treasure hunt. Sparkly stalagmites hang from the narrow caverns, where you’ll find broken pottery pieces that ancient Mayans once sacrificed to the rain gods. One great option: the cave at St. Herman’s Blue Hole National Park near Belmopan. It’s worth hiring a tour guide who knows all the nooks and crannies (and can point out the bats), as well as relay local lore. Or, chase a waterfall! The best way to do so is by horseback. Arran Bevis from MET Adventure Outfitters leads epic trips. He’s like a modern-day Tarzan, parting branches with a machete and pointing out trees you could strike open should you need water. metbelize.com

 

The atmosphere at Crave House of Flavour is so quaint, it’s like dining in a friend’s living room, sharing carafes of sangria. Yet the food is what you’d expect from a high-end, big-city restaurant. The ever-evolving menu might include beer-braised short rib risotto or crispy cassava crusted fish fillets. Save room for dessert because there’s an ice cream shop next door."
