Good food, drinks and the cool breeze at the river bank – that is all that it takes to have an excellent time in Burrell Boom.
Burrell Boom is a small Belizean Kriol village near Belize City. It received its name from a Scottish logwood and mahogany lumberjack who built a massive log boom in the area during the 1700s. The village is brilliant at a couple things; the first is at making local wines of cashew, sorrel, potato, rice, and blackberry, and the second is at hosting fun events by the river during La Ruta Maya River Challenge.
I’ve prepared this photo essay so that you can witness the simple life in Belize:
