Clarissa Falls and the Clarissa Falls Resort is a great place just a short drive from San Ignacio Town. We went here for the second time, since the first time I tried to shoot the falls it was way too bright and the sun washed them out. I was able to get a couple long […]

I thought I would post a list of prices for those of you looking to travel, or better yet, make a move to Belize. Keep in mind this list will be based on prices in San Ignacio, Cayo District. However you will find similar prices around the country, unless you’re heading to San Pedro on

Today we took a trip to The Belize Zoo just outside Belize City. One of the better zoos I have visited to date. All the animals are native to Belize, and all are either born there or rescues. It is fairly small but it doesn’t feel that way, and we spent around four hours wandering the grounds.
Another Maya ruin site checked off the list! Today it was Cahal Pech, which is only a 10 minute walk uphill from downtown San Ignacio, Belize. It’s quite different from its nearest counterpart, Xunantunich, which is much more open space with El Castillo, the temple, dominating the site. Cahal Pech is one of the more intimate

We enjoyed a sweltering drive with the top down on the Jeep today so I could give my Irish skin a little Vitamin D. Ended up stopping a few times by two of the main rivers in the Cayo District of Belize to take some pics. Tomorrow the plan is to hit Belize’s second largest

What a great town! San Ignacio, Belize, is pretty small but has plenty to do with a bunch of small shops, bars/restaurants, a farmer’s market, and the Belize River running through it, including a good mix of people from all over the world. The San Ignacio Farmer’s Market is always open, but really hits
