Activities in Western Belize

Eva’s Restaurant
Eva’s is a San Ignacio institution, now under new ownership. It’s better for information than for eating, although it’s a fun place to hang out in the late afternoon as groups return from their outings. Offers all of the standard tours, including hiking, biking, birding and trips to Caracol.
