San Ignacio Vacations, San Ignacio Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Cayo, as San Ignacio is referred to by the locals, is a great little town. If you've come to the country by way of Belize City, this place is completely different. A pictureqsue location, laid-back atmosphere, and very friendly people.

Cayo is a great place to spend a few days, as it makes a wonderful base to visit incredible sites in Belize such as Xunantunich and Caracol, and even has a Mayan site in its borders, Cahal Pech. On top of that, there's the advantage of being so close to the Guatemalan border, that a day trip to one of the most impressive Mayan sites in the world, Tikal, is a must.

Burns Avenue, the main street in town, is lined with quaint guesthouses, lively bars, good restaurants, and tour companies which can arrange tours to any attraction in the area.
