Pitt Community College Students Study in Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Pitt Community College students, along with faculty and staff, were just in Belize, and they did a lot around Cayo.  Midas has been the hotel of choice for many of the student groups coming to Cayo.  They have quite a slide show of pictures online.

 

"According to Miller, the PCC contingent stayed at Midas Resort in San Ignacio for most of the trip and took tours of the Belize Botanical Gardens, Blue Hole, the Maya Women’s Co-op in San Antonio, and the ancient Xunantunich and Cahal Pech Mayan ruins.  Miller said that throughout their visit, students interacted with many of the local people, including artists and major political figures.  The last few days of the trip, she said, were spent seaside in Hopkins Village.  In their downtime, Miller said students tried their hand at river tubing, canoeing on the Macal River, and snorkeling in South Water Caye.  But, as Miller noted, the trip wasn’t all fun and games, as the group members also traveled to San Jose Succotz Village on multiple days to carry out service learning projects."
