Vacation in Belize - March 2017 - Day 1 - Chaa Creek Resort
Our first 2 days in Belize where we spent the night at the Chaa Creek Resort located in the Cayo District. We stayed in the camp part of the resort in a casita. Our first activity in Belize was horse back ridding to the farm which was excellent. Thank you Teddy for giving us this incredible tour!
Punta Gorda, Belize
Just a very short drive thorugh a bit of Punta Gorda in southern Belize, far less commercially exploited which makes it a much nicer and slower paced little city. There are several good places to eat, our favourite is Asha's Culture Kitchen, when we are in PG we stay at Hickatee Cottages. One of the small companies making a difference is Cotton Tree Chocolate Factory. There is so much more to do and see so come south and explore for yourself.

Sun Creek Lodge, Belize, Central America
Nestled in a peaceful jungle atmosphere, Sun Creek Lodge is a Naturalist’s dream. Close to Mayan ruins, river, and Caribbean coast, with an abundance of outdoor activities to enjoy. The owners provide private, clean accommodations with a delicious breakfast along with helpful advice regarding the area.
A blend of traditional and creative ways of natural living in the tropics combined with modern conveniences welcomes guests this “Naturalist’s Paradise.” Round, thatched cabanas are dotted throughout this “Garden of Eden,” far enough apart that there is privacy.
