Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

This vacation article highlights the Cayo District - as they all should.  You'll see pictures of the market, the wooden bridge, Ko Ox Hannah, and many other things.  

"The Cayo District of Belize is beautiful.  I spent the entire time we were there feeling very relaxed and loving the scenery.  From crazy San Ignacio (driving in this small yet big for the area town was something else) to the tiny villages dotted along the road to the enormous ranches and citrus groves it was all mesmerizing...  Here are a few photographs of the view in the Cayo District, our favorite local eatery we discovered, the beautiful fruit at the market, and simply things that caught my eye."

While this article starts as a scuba story, once they get to Cayo, they realize that next time, it's just Cayo.  All the highest voted pictures are at the market. They've already booked at Macal River Camp.  Smart move!

"Although I had been waiting all week to get to the Lodge at Chaa Creek, a luxury eco-ranch in the middle of the Belize jungle, I thought I had to stop at the Saturday morning market in San Ignacio, the biggest town in Cayo.  I'd heard that I'd find native Belizeans and Mennonites (both of whom have settled in Cayo in large numbers) selling folk art, produce and street food.  As a toy lover, I was excited to pick up some tiny embroidered animals made of colorful cloth; as a food lover, the custard apples (a kind of soupy fruit eaten with a spoon) and the hot grilled pupusas (dough with beans and cheese folded in) put me in gastronomic heaven.  Even better, the market made for some of the best photo ops in Belize.  The peppers were bright, the children were adorable and the spices! I've never seen spices like that."
