Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Caves Branch is doing something different.  They're offering packages where you can learn cheese making skills between the jungle adventures.  Sounds unique.  Hope they sell some cheeses at the Saturday market.

"Whether you love to eat great cheese and want to know more, or have a desire to make cheese at home for friends and family, or want to pursue cheesemaking as a career, these classes are designed to help you attain a deeper understanding of the secrets of cheese making.  And when you’re not in class, explore the Caves Branch Jungle lodge and participate in exciting jungle tours."

Lower Dover Jungle Lodge has a toucan nest in a Bullet Tree with a baby toucan in it.  How awesome is that?  That cute little bird is going to be world famous.  Hope it doesn't go to his beak.

"We were never able to confirm baby birds in the nest, until today, one year later, in the exact same Bullet tree!  There is a saying around here on the most copied blog in Belize…  'No bird pic no bird proof.'  These are the pictures of the baby bird sticking its head out of the nest taken this morning.  This was easily one of the most memorable bird sightings and all around nature experiences ever witnessed at Lower Dover."

Amber Sunset Jungle Resort, one of Cayo's new lodges, is having their 'I Love Belize' Facebook challenge.  You can win an overnight stay for 2.  Just upload your favorite picture to their site, and ask people to like it.  Good luck!
