San Ignacio, Belize
No plans, no map, empty stomachs and a day on the school buses…we arrived in San Ignacio in desperate search for a bed. From the first minute, we knew this town was going to be an adventure on its own.
- The central hub to all jungle-adventuring. Whether its cave dwelling, rive tubing, Maya ruins, hiking, ziplining, canoeing…you name it, they have it.
- Located 15 miles from Guatemalan border, on the Macal River
- Floods every summer so you can just imagine the state of the roads/city planning
- 1 main street: Burns Avenue
- Flayva’s Restaurant: $2 Rum & Cokes
- Pop’s: best hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot

- Xunantunich: afternoon trip to the Maya ruin. Breathtaking views from the top after a mighty climb up. Sweating.
