Video of the day.  Well done, and it has Joe Martinez from Martz Farm start it off with a nice little poem.  Cayo is highlighted, from the market to the pontoon boat to Cahal Pech to Xunantunich to Caracol and Mountain Pine Ridge.

Martz Farm Adventures

Martz Farm Adventures | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Martz Farm, located just south of Benque, got a great write up.  They put up a lot of great pictures from the farm, and from the pontoon boat ride on Lake Benque.  Sounds like they have some superb food there too.


"We chose to stay at the farm because we had heard great reviews about Miriam, Joe and the extended Martinez family but reading online reviews is one thing and experiencing the magic is altogether different.  Over the course of the 4 days we relaxed on the hammocks in the main house, we took a hike to the vaca reserve and went on a boat ride to pristine waterfalls.  The kids enjoyed horseback riding to caves and we generally enjoyed around the farm with the family."

La Capitana Cruise on Lake Benque

La Capitana Cruise on Lake Benque | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Did you know that Cayo has lakes, and pontoon boat tours?  Lake Benque is very easy and inexpensive to get to, and Martz Farm has the 'La Capitana' pontoon boat.  You can see waterfalls, including the Twin Waterfalls, hike the Maya Mountains, swim in granite pools, see exotic wildlife, and even camp overnight if you'd like.  La Capitana even has a BBQ grill on it.  You can cruise in style, and enjoy lunch right next to waterfalls.

"Cayo has lakes, and you can boat them now at Martz Farm. There are quite a few waterfalls to hike to and play in around Lake Benque. You can even camp overnight."

La Capitana Pontoon Boat

La Capitana Pontoon Boat | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Great article about the La Capitana Pontoon adventure.

 

"'While staying at Martz Farm Treehouses and Cabanas Ltd in the Cayo District, we were excited to learn that one of the many adventures they had to offer is their signature La Capitana Pontoon Boat tour on the nearby Macal River. Years ago, we had kayaked the same stretch of river before the Vaca Dam was completed in 2010, and we were eager to see how the area had changed. Now, this section of the river has transformed into a lazy tributary, perfect for a pontoon boat tour. What better way to weave through the lush jungle landscape and dramatic cliffs that border the river while exploring waterfalls and playing in the cool mountain water? We couldn’t get our swimsuits on fast enough!"
