The Chaa Creek Eco Kid essay competition has begun.  Nazeem Ahmad has written this one.  Kids have unitl June 14th to send in their essay about why they want to be an Eco Kid.  Winners get a scholarship to the Summer Kids camp.

 

"So we should reduce, recycle and reuse.  This is what I do by turning off our room light when we don’t need them, use little water.  I love animals.  In our home I save little animals trapped and I enthusiastically encourage my little brothers and sisters to help and save the little pollinators and insects.  I love playing with cats, dogs, birds and fishes; I love nature.  I’ll do anything to stop global warming that causes the melting of the ice caps.  That’s why I should be an eco-kid at your camp so I can learn more ways to better my environment."

Ascenthium really rocked the Cancha Marshalleck in Benque Friday night.  It had been way too long since they'd played in Cayo, but they made up for it.  They had a great laser light show, thanks to DJ Caesar, to go with the rocking rythym.  Guido had a wicked drum solo, and thankfully they were coaxed into performing an incredible encore too.  Can't wait for them to come back.  Great show, Ascenthium!

Spelunking the Crystal Cave

Spelunking the Crystal Cave | Cayo Scoop!  Bestofcayo.com's E-mag. | Scoop.it

Cayo's Crystal Cave, also known as Mountain Cow Cave, had a great article written about it lately.  Great way to put it: Actun Tunichil Muknal is for tourists, Mountain Cow is for adventurers.  Both are great ways to spend the day.

 

"I said it before, but I'll say it again: ATM is for tourists, Crystal is for adventurers.  Crystal is different.  It was a challenge the memory of which still gets my blood pumping.  It is impossible to overstate how incredibly breathtaking it is.  It was one of the most exciting and intimate ways I have ever experienced the earth.  I will never forget it."

Belize Tops Wildlife Adventure List

Belize Tops Wildlife Adventure List | Cayo Scoop!  Bestofcayo.com's E-mag. | Scoop.it

Belize was listed first on the list of Best Wildlife Travel Adventures.  Of course, due to Cayo, where the wildlife is.  The picture is of the Twin Falls, taken from La Capitana pontoon boat on Lake Benque.

 

"Located on the northeastern coast of Central America, Belize is brimming with unique and exciting wildlife.  There are approximately 145 species of mammals, 139 species of reptiles and amphibians, and over 500 species of birds that call the Latin American country home.  Belize contains remarkable protected parks and coastal cays abundant with indigenous wildlife.  To see some of Belize’s rarest animals, such as Baird’s tapirs and scarlet macaws, a tour guide is required, but many exotic animals can be spotted all around the tropical paradise.  Swim with sharks and stingrays in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, and make sure to visit the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, which is recognized internationally as the world’s first jaguar preserve."
