The Guardian's Travel Section Recommends Parrot Nest Lodge

The Guardian's Travel Section Recommends Parrot Nest Lodge | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

You don't see Cayo's smaller lodges get much press, but that is changing.  Parrot Nest Lodge, with the original treehouses in Belize, got mentioned, as did Tobacco Caye's Paradise Lodge, in The Guardian's travel tips for Central America.  

 

"It's lucky iguanas don't snore or it would be a very noisy night's sleep in the trees.  The treehouses are snug, overlooking the Mopan river (great for swimming) and your tree will probably be visited by not just iguanas but also parrots and toucans.  Mayan ruins, San Ignacio town and the Cave of the Crystal Maiden are all close.  Best of all, this small lodge is run by an incredibly welcoming family."

Cayo just got mentioned in a couple of 'top' lists.  Joshua Berman has Cayo on his 'Top 5 places to watch it all go down' list, in honour of 2012.  He says that Cayo 'also boasts the best selection of jungle lodges anywhere in Central America, including many small, off-grid eco-resorts on the upper Macal,' and mentions the Lodge at Chaa Creek, and their special tours for 2012.  He then says that 'there is a large event planned for Dec. 21, 2012 at Xunantunich archaeological site, and special solstice camping permits are being issued at Caracol.'  http://www.salon.com/2012/06/12/end_of_the_world/singleton/

 

Travel Agent Central has Cayo's tree houses at number 6 of the top 10 Summer 2012 destinations.  They say that Belize is 'offering caving and kayaking, snorkeling and diving, tours of ancient ruins and zipline tours, naturalist eco tours, and journeys on horseback,' most of which are also in Cayo, and specifically mentions Caves Branch.
