Each Month LocoGringo.com will feature different destinations, interesting places to stay, cultural articles and things to do along the Caribbean coastline of Mexico and Belize. 
 

Belize, once known as British Honduras, is the only English speaking country in Central America and is the newest addition to Loco Gringo.  Belize is a destination for the adventurous, nature oriented tourist.  Whether you are into bird watching, horse back riding, canoeing, caving or scuba diving, Belize has it.  Scuba diving is the most popular activity in the Cayes.  Loco Gringo is headed down to the Cayes next month to finish up that part of the site.   Belize, as a country, does not have all the refinements of the Riviera Maya.  It does, however, have tremendous raw natural beauty and a growing number of high quality resorts.  Even if it is not a destination for you, visit our site and just enjoy the information and photos.  Please visit our newest site.

Eating and Drinking along the Coast ...
