La Ruta Maya, Burrel Boom Stop 2011


In Belize, there is no shortage of local events and if any traveller desires to fit in perfectly, they must pass the Eat like a Belize local test. Do you think you can pass it?

Every year, La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge takes place for four days  and this year, the canoes left San Ignacio early Friday morning on March 4th and arrived in Belize City on Monday March 7th to commemorate Baron Bliss Day which is on March 9th.

Cayo Farmers' Market - San Ignacio, Belize

On the 22nd of December 2009, since I was working under the monitoring and evaluation section of BRDP, I along four other colleagues conducted a survey to measure the efficacy of the San Ignacio Market. I gathered necessary data to make a full report for the EU whom is the organization that largely financed the construction of the facility. Belize Rural Development Programme is directly financed by the European Union and is partnered with the government of Belize. BRDP’s mission is to try eradicate poverty by promoting sustainable economic development in rural areas of Belize, and they carry this out by providing projects that empower poor individuals and communities. Here are some selected pictures that show how incredible the experience was. That day was a success!
