Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Caracol is mentioned as the ruin to see in Belize.  The article mentions how Caracol isn't overcrowded with guests.

"The largest site in Belize, it is believed Caracol once defeated Tikal in war!  Quite an achievement considering Tikal is known as one of the most powerful Mayan cities ever.  The tallest pyramid, Caana, stands 140 feet tall and overlooks the jungle canopy.  There is a lot of archaeological work continuing at the site.  It is expected to proceed into the years ahead.  If you get there in the dry season, chances are you will see a few hard working archaeologists floating about.  While a lot of excavation work has been completed, you can still expect many of the structures to be engulfed in jungle.  Remember, this means means more wildlife and more feeling like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft."

Gomez must know by now that people the world over come to visit him at the Green Iguana Conservation Project.  Fox News Travel just ran a great article about Belize, and Gomez is one of the stars. There's a lot about the Maya, and Cayo too.  Since when is Belize 'unknown?'

"Some of the ancient sites, like Cahal Pech and Altun Ha, are easy to get to, but others, like Caracol and Lubaantun, set amidst gorgeous, lush tropical jungle, are far enough off the beaten track that when you arrive, you have that awesome Indiana Jones-like feeling of discovery that makes the effort well worth it.  For a real adventure, book a trip to Caracol on a Polaris utility vehicle through Mystic River, a superb, off-the-grid jungle resort located right on the Macal River outside San Ignacio."

Belize has been featured in the August issue of the Caribbean Travel & Life magazine.  There are some great pictures in the 25 that they have on the site.

"The headline on the magazine reads '25 Top Secrets,' under which the subtitle includes, '…Deepest Plunge in Belize.'  The article was covered by media friend Jad Davenport and is entitled, 'What Lies Beneath.'  In it, Davenport guides the readers through 'the sacred caves of Belize.'  He highlights the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest reserve, Actun Chek (Footprint Cave), and, most of all, our Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave.  Davenport lets readers know what to expect when exploring these caves and also gives a brief history on the famous Crystal Maiden of the ATM cave. He describes his experience in the cave as 'Indiana Jonesing.'"
