MPR Earth Day Cleanup

MPR Earth Day Cleanup | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

A huge thanks to everyone that helped with the Mountain Pine Ridge cleanup in honor of Earth Day.  Looks like they collected tons of trash. Go Green...and don't freaking litter!


"Happy Earth Day Everyone!!  Mariposa Jungle Lodge proudly joins our industry partners in the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve as 3 of our team members of the Go Green team embarked on a rigorous clean up campaign this morning.  Our designated portion is from the Seven Miles Junction to the Junction of Hidden Valley Inn.  Together we can raise more awareness and make a daily difference."

Belize Wins Big on Trip Advisor

Belize Wins Big on Trip Advisor | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Cayo had 15 lodges and hotels win the Trip Advisor Travelers' Choice awards this year.  The Ambergris Today has listed most of the Belizean winners, and there were quite a few, on their site.  Mariposa Jungle Lodge, pictured above yet somehow absent from the lists on AT, usually ranks in the top 3 for Cayo, and they won an award for Best Service.  Congratulations, Mariposa!

Belize Trails Upgrade Big Rock Falls | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

You can see 100's of pictures of the Big Rock Falls trail construction project at the Belize Trails fan page.  They have before and after pictures, pictures from the road flattening phase, camp pictures, and even pictures of the fun.  Enjoy!  Thanks to all those involved.

 

"We have recently completed a project improving the trail to Big Rock Falls in the Mountain Pine Ridge.  Thanks to Sacred Heart College, Mariposa Jungle Lodge, Blancaneaux Lodge, Mountain Equestrian Trails, Twin Town Transport and all the individual volunteers who helped make this project successful!  Now it's a little easier to get to this view."

"A visit to the Iguana Hatchery"

"A visit to the Iguana Hatchery" | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Green Iguana Conservation Project rocks!  They have some sad news: Roxy has passed away.  That won't stop them from thrilling tourists from all around the globe.  Mariposa Jungle Lodge has some really amazing shots of guests with baby iguanas on them.

 

"Have you ever been this close to a reptile? Come and have a look, it's an amazing experience!

For quite some years the San Ignacio Resort Hotel have been at the forefront of conservation for the threatened Green Iguana. A highly interpretive and educational exhibit has been designed within the Resort’s property in order to create a closer look at this amazing reptile, and to learn how vital they could be to the ecological balance of the river habitat."
