Tropical Rainforest

 
Well, it’s been awhile since I updated my blog here, but I am still in Belize and am enjoying myself very much working on the Better In Belize Project.
Already quite awhile ago I discovered what I thought looked like a Mayan mound or pyramid on the Better In Belize ecovillage property. I didn’t post about […]

Guanacaste National Park was our decided destination for adventure. It’s a small National Park reserve that is easy to access right off the highway beside Belmopan. We’d seen it many times before, but decided it was time to check it out.
We left in the early afternoon, and decided to take the sscenic route through Spanish […]

Mark and I decided to do a trip to Punta Gorda in the Toledo district before he sells his Jeep. Punta Gorda is Toledo’s Capital and the largest southern city in Belize. To be perfectly honest it is not a big city at all, and we found it to be one of the most laid […]

The trip from San Ignacio to Guatemala’s ancient city Tikal was absolutely incredible. This Mayan sacred site is a must see for anyone travelling through the area or near it. It’s an ancient city which is still being excavated and has numerous tall towering temple structures that look over the high canopy of the tropical […]

I went on a trek with Mark and some other tourists we met in town a few days previously. Our journey was to the Rio Frio caves and to some secret waterfall spots.
