Lonely Planet Ranks Belize as Most Family Friendly

Lonely Planet Ranks Belize as Most Family Friendly | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Lonely Planet released their list of the most family friendly places, and Belize is listed first.  Cayo is mentioned, of course, and the picture is Caracol.

 

"But the interior doesn’t mean sacrificing fun in the water, with underground rivers to tube, jungle lodges on swimming holes and Mayan ruins reached by boat.  If you rent a car, a tad pricey (about US$80 per day), you can connect a few dots at your own leisure.  For an unforgettable stay, try the remote and family-friendly Barton Creek Outpost in the Cayo District, with a rope swing on the country’s finest swimming hole.  And pull in for Garifuna drum lessons at the laid-back beach of Hopkins."

Skulls between stalactites at Barton Creek Cave

Skulls between stalactites at Barton Creek Cave | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Barton Creek Cave, and Barton Creek Outpost get good reviews in this article.  

 

"Just some metres away there is a cave (Barton Creek Cave), which you can visit by kayak and check out 8km of passages.  It is known both: as a touristic destination but also as a archaeological site.  In cave there were found remains of at least 28 humans and many pottery shards, which makes scientist believe there was a life already at the beginning of 1st century.  The strong evidence exist already in the first kilometre of kayaking, where on the left ledge one can see human bones and skulls.  In the dark as hell cave, between stalactites and flying bats, it makes a strong impression."
