Checo Hill is our home, guesthouse and farm in the hills of Cayo District near to the Mountain Pine Ridge. We are located on the outskirts of the village of Seven Miles / El Progresso, a small farming community.
We offer bed and breakfast accommodation, a self-catering kitchen, meals on request and a variety of activities in the surrounding area and wider Cayo District.
We spotted this orchid blooming in one of the old mango trees in the orchard the other day - we're hoping to work out what it is.
It's pretty high up! Zoom lens needed to get the photos. But at least, unlike a bird or a mammal, it isn't prone to running around and making itself all blurry.
We're also keeping our eye on a vanilla vine in the forest on the side of Checo Hill at the moment. It's flowering for the first time since we've been here and we're keen again to work out what species it is. Watch this space...
