Eating in San Ignacio

Eating in San Ignacio | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Nice little article about some of the food found around Cayo.  The Guava Limb and Cenaida's get high marks, as does Marie Sharp's, of course.  It's a quick read, as is the sister article which highlights their stay at Rumors Resort, and talks about ATM and making tortillas with the San Antonio Women's Group.

 

"Food is such an important part of travelling. It offers every culture a unique identity created through history and years of traditions. It can tell you the story of a country and it can bring people together. It is always very exciting to try new dishes and discover local ingredients from different regions of the Earth. 

Belize was no exception to this exciting culinary journey. The collective influence of the Mestizo, Maya, and Kriol people make up the largest demographic in Belize, while the presence of Chinese and Taiwanese groups adds a different level of diversity. It was very interesting to learn that there are various Mennonite communities living in Belize. As a British colony in the past, it is the only English-speaking country in Central America, and it’s geographic position within Central America and the Caribbean also makes it stand out."

Cenaida's might have burnt down, but like the Phoenix, it has risen from the ashes, and it's on the same lot!  Cenaida's is now easily accessible from Far West street.  It's in the old tortilla building across from Maxim's.  Same amazing food.

How to Spend 5 Days in Belize for $500

How to Spend 5 Days in Belize for $500 | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

303 Magazine has an article out about budget travelling in Belize, and Cayo is highlighted.  Cenaida's gets a great mention, as does the Green Iguana Conservation Project, Mountain Pine Ridge, and Xunantunich. 

 

"Tucked away in the jungle is the small city of San Ignacio. While there are tourists in San Ignacio due to its rich history and culture, it isn’t what you would call a “tourist town.” The center of town is a few streets of restaurants and businesses, all centered around a local food and goods marketplace.

 

A winding river snakes around the city, and just beyond is some of nature’s finest — jungle-thick hikes that lead to towering waterfalls, hot springs and pools. But the real gem of San Ignacio is its Mayan footprint. Ruins of ancient Mayan structures, caves filled with artifacts and other historic sites are scattered around the city. San Ignacio is where a traveler finds their sense of adventure."
