The fer-de-lance is responsible for most of the fatal snake bites in Central America and is the one nocturnal viper you must be aware of. It is also the only aggressive snake in Belize; most others shy away from trouble.
CoCo Plum Cage, near the airport at the south end of the island, is tucked away in the trees and well worth looking for, especially when you are in need of a cappuccino. The omelets are notorious around the island, so breakfast is a must, at least once. They also serve vegetarian foods.
PUNTAROCK Punta Rock was started in 1980 in Dangriga by Pen Cayetanno, a self-taught musician and painter born in 1954. He played music in Mexico and Guatemala before he realized the uniqueness of his own culture. He came home, and together with Mohobub Florez, Myme Martinez, Bernard Higinio, Peter Jeep Lewis, Faltas Nolberto and Calypso Lopez, put a band together. They quickened the sound of the traditional music they remembered from childhood, added an electric guitar and some turtle shells and three years later were recognized at the International Jazz Festival in New Orleans. Cayetano s studio is at 74 St. Vincent Street and he invites music and art lovers to visit.
