Wildlife in the Cayo District

Wildlife in the Cayo District | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Nice article with some great pictures about a Belize vacation, with 4 days in Cayo.  They really caught some spectacular shots of everything from basalisks to hummingbirds to owls.  They rave about how much they loved Pook's Hill the most.

 

"Of the four places we stayed on the trip, Pook’s Hill was undeniably my favorite and I think everyone else would agree.  The accommodations were excellent, the food extraordinary, and the owner and all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and seemed thrilled to have us stay and enjoy their little place in paradise.  Wandering the grounds were a few prehistoric-looking Basilisk Lizards generally sunning themselves and waiting for flying insects, such as this male...  Another fascinating experience at Pook’s Hill was listening to a mating pair of Spectacled Owls calling to each other from their hidden perches near our cabanas at dusk, and one night spotting an immature sitting in a leafless tree, apparently not yet having learned the importance of leaves for concealing your presence."

"As so much of the country's tourism is dependent on its breathtaking natural surroundings, a determined commitment to eco-friendly practices can be found in most hoteliers throughout the country, and Oyster has stayed in everything from compact eco-lodges to rustic-luxe hideaways during our visits to this small South American country."

Congratulations to Pook's Hill Lodge for winning 3 of Trip Advisor's Travelers' Choice awards!  Pook's Hill, which is ranked as the best hotel in Cayo on TA, won in the Bargain, Best Service, and Small Hotels categories.  Well done, PH, well done.

 

"This is an amazing place.  The setting is fantastic--tucked deep in the forest.  The facilities are wonderful.  The individual cabanas are extremely well designed.  No space is wasted, but they do not feel restricting.  They fit into the surroundings spectacularly.  The staff is top-notch."
