Cayo Highlighted in Brickell Magazine | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Cayo and the San Ignacio Resort Hotel really steal the article that just came out in Brickell magazine.  The article, Breathtakingly Belize, starts on page 130.  Oddly, they didn't post many pictures of Cayo, instead going for the overused sea shots, but they do have the SIRH and Cahal Pech.

 

"Adventure reigns in this part of the country and I learned a lot on this leg of the trip about The Great Outdoors.  The most amusing being that male iguanas have 2 penises; the most useful that bags of water on a table will keep the flies away; and the saddest that the average lifespan of butterflies is less than a month...but at least they’re drunk on nectar the whole time!

 

A brief jaunt to Chaa Creek, an award-winning eco-luxury lodge with its own on-site organic farm and open-air spa, yielded encounters with tree monkeys, tail- thrashing black iguanas and elusive jaguars, among many other critters.  Bring water and a spray mister if you visit: There’s no A/C on site.  My favorite part of the experience in this part of Belize was by far the people.  They are a sweet, peaceful bunch.  A walk through the neighborhood features quaint little shops, small businesses operating out of homes and lots of roadside farmer’s markets."
