San Ignacio

A few weeks ago we went to explore the Cayo district. We went to San Ignacio. We stayed at the Cahal Pech Resort. It is up on a hill side near the Cahal Pech Maya Ruin.


They have a hotel with rooms or you can stay in a cabana. We stayed in a cabana. Simple, and clean. Some have been remodeled.

The view on the hill top is SO beautiful!

Our Cabana
Over looking the city and at night the light twinkle. So nice and relaxing

Above the restaurant and below he bar area
The pool was very nice! 2 pools actually. One upper and one lower.This guy over looks the upper pool!!

The next morning we walked around town went to the market. The veggies and fruits were SO fresh! Much fresher than in our Market in Dangriga. We found basil and raspberries! HEAVEN! They have lots of shops and great little places to try different wonderful foods. We had 3 small tacos for $1.00 BZ ($.50US) Belize is just filled with the nicest people too. this are is mostly the Spanish and Maya culture. It is close to the Guatemala boarder so you do have a lot of trucks going through the town, traffic is more like a city...as it is a city. You can get a tour to Tikal the Maya ruins in Guatemala as its just a few hours drive form San Ignacio. Wonderful place! A great place to go if you are traveling around the country!
