Daniel at the Belize Soul Project has come up with a great feeding program idea. A soup kitchen, and it's located conveniently downtown. They have a gofundme page setup. Thanks to those that are supplying the meat, Running W, and the gas, Sirrom!
"Daniel Velazquez who operates Belize Soul Project has decided to start a meal pick up service beginning this Saturday at the Soul Project location in San Ignacio, across from the police station and downstairs from the Old House Hostel. Gas for cooking is being donated by Sirrom Gas, and meat is being donated from Running W; these donations are SO appreciated!

Video of the day. The Cheap Nomad visited the Green Iguana Conservation Project, and got some great footage of the fun to be had there. They stayed at the Old House Hostel, and also got some footage there.
"People have asked me what it's like staying in a hostel. Here is a pretty typical hostel we stayed at in San Ignacio, Belize. We had our own beds in a 4-dorm room which cost us $14 a night each. There is usually a kitchen, communal space, and a couple bathrooms that are shared amongst everyone. If you are ever in San Ignacio, visit the Iguana Sanctuary nearby. They rehabilitate injured Iguanas and have successfully implemented an Iguana breeding program. The entrance was $9."

"Documentary series, stories of hope from the people of Belize as we watch the global crisis unfold, episode one."

Cayo was listed as one of the 2020 Travel Hot Spots by Ali Wunderman, author of Frommer's Guide to Belize. Frommer's is one of the better guide books for Belize, and offers lots of great information about the tours, lodges, and cultural hot spots around Cayo. Chaa Creek, Parrot's Nest, Soul Project, and other spots are highlighted. Ali was recently interviewed by Javier on the Belize Travelcast.
"Cayo District (Western Belize): The Cayo District is the heart of Belize's Mayan world, as well as its prime ecotourism destination. Between a full plate of active adventure activities and a steady diet of Mayan ruins and ancient burial caves, families will find this a great place to spend time in Belize. The Lodge at Chaa Creek is not only extremely comfortable for families, but they also have their own butterfly breeding project and natural history museum on-site. And if parents need a little pampering, they also have an excellent spa. For families on a budget, we highly recommend the Parrot's Nest which offers free river tubing, treehouse stays and much more family-friendly fun...
Try rappelling into a sinkhole or riding horses to visit a Mayan ruin. And if you like zip-lines, this country has you covered. Belize’s interior (which, by the way, is less than two hours from the coast/airport, so there’s no logistical reason to skip it), is also where the country’s youth are developing art and culture in a new way. In San Ignacio, the twice-weekly Soul Project (housed beneath The Old House Hostel) showcases live music and rotating installations created by young, local artists, while the San Ignacio Resort Hotel merges hospitality and stewardship with the Green Iguana Conservation Project.
