The La Ruta Maya will be in full swing in just 3 weeks, and the Huffington Post has a great article about the race, calling it 'One of the World's Toughest and Most Historic River Races.' It all starts under the Hawkesworth Bridge on March 6th. "La Ruta Maya is the biggest annual sporting event in Belize. Thousands of spectators line the banks of the Belize River to cheer on their favorite teams. The race has its origins in the 1995 Save Our Rivers Programme, a canoe race intended to promote cleaning up debris in and on the banks of the Old Belize River. This event has evolved to become the annual La Ruta Maya Challenge, a four-day event that follows an ancient Mayan route from San Ignacio to Belize City and is ranked 40th on Peak Races' 100 Toughest Races in the World."

Belize Adventure has a nice article about El Pilar.
"The name of El Pilar means watering basin, which is quite understandable if you consider the location of this ancient city. If you want to pinpoint the exact location of this ancient Mayan city, it’s safe to note that you can access it via San Ignacio as well as the Bullet Tree Falls. These are placed on the Belize River. Many underground streams are found here and that’s the reason why you will find an abundance of vegetation in this particular location. Again, this is understandable if you take into consideration the uniqueness of this place and the amazing benefits that it can deliver for any visitor."

Dream Valley is a newer jungle lodge in Cayo with luxurious cabins, from which you can see the Belize river. They've been open a little more than a year, and you might have seen their sign around Teakettle Village. They have a spa on site, and are preparing to build a yoga wellness center. If you want to get away for a weekend, and pamper yourself, Dream Valley is the place to go.
"Dream Valley Inn is located a few miles off the George Price Highway, near Teakettle Village. They have some beautiful grounds. There are 8 plush cabins, a wellness center, a great restaurant, and a pool."
