This is my friend, Lazaro Martinez, out on a limb, high above the Macal River Gorge and an unnamed waterfall in western Belize. This area of the country, known as “Cayo,” gets a lot less press than Belize’s famous reef and Caribbean cayes.

Here’s my little tribute to Belize, to get you ready, and here’s a short Q&A I did about Belize. In addition to showing pictures, singing a few songs, and talking about my travels in Belize, I’ll answer your questions about planning/booking your trip and figuring out what to do once you’re there—including volunteer, research, and study programs in Belize.
