San Ignacio (Cayo) Practical information

Health & safety

Dangers & annoyances

San Ignacio is not a dangerous place, but travelers should always exercise caution, especially after dark. The area north of Market Sq – especially around the football ground – can be pretty dark and desolate after hours. A reader reported an attack and attempted robbery that took place in the evening on Burns Ave, north of Waight’s Ave.
