The Cayo Side of Belize

The Cayo Side of Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Cayo got hyped up in International Living.  While it's audience is more for people thinking of moving here, it's a good article, and highlights what they think people like about Cayo and its culture.  It's mentions the market, Midas, the SIRH, and even the Chaya Garden Ashram in Cristo Rey.  Cayo rules!

"The fertile Cayo is the bread basket of Belize. It’s also an eco-tourism wonderland.  This region is abundant with exotic birds, indigenous creatures, vibrant flowers and magnificent trees.  Belize’s most desirable hardwood trees—mahogany, zericote and rosewood—thrive in the Cayo...  San Ignacio’s Saturday open market is a social/cultural shopping event.  It’s the country’s largest open market.  Located on the edge of town—next to the banks of the Macal River—the market is expansive, aromatic, and buzzing with activity.  You’ll find an abundant, colorful selection of fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and regional food on offer.  All are locally grown and reasonably priced."

Pitt Community College Students Study in Belize

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."

The Remaining really rocked the large crowd that was at Midas Resort last night.  They have a violinist in the group, and she can play!  They did a wide range of artists, and they even had a mosh pit by the end of the night.  And that ended in the pool.  Mistah Geeh mixed between the sets, and did a great job.  Thanks go out to Xunan and NICH's SISE House of Culture for making it all happen.  Can't wait for the next Full Moon Concert.

There are a lot of must do's in downtown Cayo.  Here's a top ten list, without our suggestions to the author of 'Walking the Hawkesworth' and 'Hitting Midas' Pool' which should both be on there.  Mr. Greedy's, known for their amazing happy hour, and Meluchi's, famous for their Graveyard Lounge, are mentioned under Cayo Nightlife.  Iguanas - the picture is from the Green Iguana Conservation Project - milk shakes, and sweets are also highlighted.
