Cayo District Travel Forum

So you travelled through the mountains looks like..? We will be in Belize in Aug. and are going to the Cayo region after spending a few days in Caye Caulker. Have been looking at several lodges, in particular Pine Mountain Lodge I think is the name. I guess there are many - do you suggest going from place to place? Did you base out of one location or keep moving with Eva's?

Thanks!

I've been reading about the dam that was proposed for the Macal River upstream of San Ignacio. I've canoed that river up and down and am horrified that they are going to flood that incredibly lovely area. I wonder how much construction has gone on so far and for how long canoing the river will be possible. I'm trying to get back to there as soon as I can.

Hi,

We are considering a trip to San Ignacio this year, end of March beginning of April. What is the weather like this time of year? From what I have been reading on this site, it seems that San Ignacio is pretty centralized for caving, Mayan Ruins, etc. Is San Ignacio near the beach or inland? How far from the Airport and what is the best transportation and place to stay?

Thank you for any and/or all your help.

We are coming in on a Carnival Cruise ship. How far from the port is this and what is the easiest/cheapest way to get there?

I am coming for Easter to San Ignacio. Does any body have any more information or sites to visit regarding the Easter Festival that they have?

The new Rough Guides mentions it, but just in passing.

Hey! I am interested in hearing from anyone who has stayed at the Cahal Pech Village Resort. It seems very affordable, but is it really a good value? I would like to stay in one of the cabanas rather than the hotel. Naturally, I want to make sure the place is honeymoon-worthy. thanks so much for any tips.

I'm traveling to San Ignacio in Dec. I'm very concern with getting good food at an affordable price. I really don't want to be sick over Xmas. A friend of mine was in Belize last Xmas and ate at a place called Nefry's he said it's new but it's the best. He also told me to keep away from Eva's. Does anyone know about either of these places? I really would appriciate your help since I'm travelling for the first tim and alone.
Thanks you all.

I'm thinking of spending a few months in Belize with my girlfriend ..We like nude beaches ( not nudist colony stuff ) and kinky friends ( were not swingers ) Is there any beaches were anything goes and are there kinky fetish type hangouts ??

Would like to immigrate to Belize. Need to know how to contact that government's various ministries.

Has anyone been cave tubing in the San Ignacio area? I will be there in Dec. I have seen that Cave's Branch offers it, but it seems a bit far from San Ignacio. Any suggestions?
