Caracol was one of the largest centers of the Maya world during the classic period, covering an area of over 200 square kilometers. But that is not the first thing we heard about Caracol. The first thing we were told was that it is dangerous. Not the site itself really. But to get there. Thanks […]

There are about 450 sandy islands on the Belize Barrier Reef  off the caribbean coast of Belize. Belizeans call them ‘cayes’.

We booked a Lamanai River cruise through the Hotel de la Fuente in Orange Walk after they’d shown us a little preview of what a river cruise like this would be like. So we took a car up from Belize City to Orange Walk (make sure you get there before 9 am!) and went on […]

Early in december I went over to Caye Caulker to facilitate a strategic workshop with the Caye Caulker Branch of the BTIA.

Deutsche Version: Der Tag an dem ich den Black Hole Drop nicht sah. You see, the problem is the monkey. He lives inside of me. Whenever I stand close to an edge, try to make casual conversation on a balcony or attend a meeting in a modest all-glass meeting room on the modest 30th floor […]
