This place is embedded in nature - a hidden jewel - a fishing / barter community. Total population 500.
For the camping backpacker this place offers not only the indoor / outdoor experience, but also some of the best Belizean food we have ever had.
Jason our host (the newly elected mayor) is a true leader helping the villagers keep their freedom to enjoy life with mother earth. He is also a world traveler with a good heart. Myrtle is a great cook and an herbalist who knows the Belize Jungle. We are happy to have met this dynamic duo.
Bring gifts to exchange / barter / trade with the villagers. (Fishing gear, gasoline, tools)
Things to bring with you (that you would normally bring camping): bug spray, bug coils, flashlight, and matches.
As a plus: we did not add to the carbon footprint in the semi-eco friendly getaway.
We would highly recommend staying here for a unique experience staying in a small fishing community.
