Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Video of the day.  WCVB Boston spent some time in Belize, and put together a great little video, which focuses mainly on Cayo.  They interview Mick and Lucy Fleming from Chaa Creek, and talk about the many Maya archaeological sites in the area.  They also have Big Rock Falls in there.  Montes is also interviewed, and he shows them around Xunantunich and Cahal Pech.

"Belize is the perfect place for a little R & R, reef and rainforest, and if that's not enough, you can even visit ancient Mayan ruins."

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2017 National Tourism Awards!  Cayo represented well: Mick And Lucy Fleming, from Chaa Creek, were awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Caves Branch won the Hospitality Award. 

Great pictures of the Eco Kids Summer camp, taken by JCariddi Photography.  He captured some magical moments, and there are some awesome black and white pictures too.  The kids had the times of their lives, and it shows.  Thanks go out to Chaa Creek for making such a difference in the community.

Chaa Creek has quite a farm on their hands.  The best eco-lodge in the country grows much of their own produce.  They have goats, chickens, turkeys, and many other animals there, and they compost just about everything.

Congratulations, Mick and Lucy!  The owners of Chaa Creek were awarded the Belize Tourism Board's Lifetime Achievement Award.  The BTB put together a little video for the award. 

"Congratulations John[sic] & Lucy Flemming for attaining the " Lifetime Achievement Award" for the National Tourism Awards 2017!"
