Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Video of the day.  One Chance Travel put together a great video of their vacation to Belize, and it highlights Cahal Pech and the Belize Zoo.  They have a nice article about Cayo, which mentions many local spots, from Ajaw Chocolate to the Green Iguana Conservation Project.  Worth a watch, and a read.

"Check out our trip video! We visited 3 spots in Belize: San Ignacio, Placencia, and the island of Caye Caulker! Read more on our blog"

Spectacular article about Cayo!  Glad the author found the most magical spot around.  Some nice pictures of Xunantunich are in there, and AJAW Chocolate gets a great write up, as well as the San Ignacio Resort Hotel.  Well worth a read.

"Honestly, I ignorantly never knew that there was a magical place in western Belize that is chock full of adventure and healing.  So of course I put aside whatever it is that I was meant to be working on (typical me) and fell down the rabbit hole.  Mayan architecture.  Rainforest medicine.  Cave exploring.  Jungle Horseback Riding.  I was hooked before I even really knew anything about it but came to me at the exact moment where I could truly understand the magic.  

I spent the next 2 days devouring Rosita Arvigo's book about her time with one of the last Mayan healers in the area.  It was spellbounding.  There are thousands of medicinal species of plants here.  The biodiversity is astounding and it's been quietly healing people for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years.  Bush doctors, shamans and village healers were common practice and had continued to scrape together this tradition orally after the Spanish burnt most of the important codexes that housed a wealth of critical information.  

There was no other choice, I had to explore it. "

The premier issue of Caribbean Culture & Lifestyle is out, and McNab Designs has done it again.  Well done, vivid, informational, and Cayo is all throughout.  Ajaw chocolate, and the Green Iguana Conservation Project are both mentioned as great sights to see in San Ignacio proper.  ATM, Xunantunich, and Cahal Pech are highlighted as must see's.  The only flaw: Simply Delicious, which is recommended for eating, has just closed.
