Saunter from your own terraced tropical gardens to a range of fine restaurants within minutes. Take one of Cayo's many adventures or stay at home cooking, reading a book on the deck, or hanging out watching the birds and iguanas near the spring-fed creek. Safe, quiet neighborhood near the Police Station and San Ignacio Resort Hotel (with swimming pool and hiking trails). 1100 square feet inside, large fenced lot, deck, artwork, spring-fed creek; all custom designed.

Stores, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, churches, casino, laundry and market nearby (i.e.within 200 yards). Minutes from Maya sites such as Cahal Pech, Xunantunich, El Pilar, Pacbitun, Che Chem Ha, Actun Tunichil Muknal and the Mountain Pine Ridge. 90 minutes from the coral ocean. 4x4 Trooper, house- and cell- phones available for guests' use. 128k DSL WiFi connection with Sony laptop provided. Cable TV, DVD player Airport pick-up available The concept of the house is to adapt indigenous Belizean features in artistic new ways. While there are some elements of Mock Maya, the main inspiration for the design is the idea of flowing water; from the main entrance you go down a dry creek bed, enter the cave/temple of the house, follow river stones and slate pathways, take a shower in the crystal waterfall, wallow in the coral ocean of the living room, flow out the back door down the delta of garden paths, take the meditation steps, and rest by the spring-fed creek, where the pure water continues into town (it was once the main water source for San Ignacio). You will also find some jungly vines and spots for ritual sacrifice (I am thinking of the Tikal-shaped barbecue grill).
