R
San José
A sinuous track leads for ten miles northwest from a junction a mile east of San
Antonio to the village of
SAN JOSÉ
, nestled amid the lower slopes of the Maya
Mountains. Active-minded visitors can hike from San José higher into the
mountains. Ask for Alfredo Sho or Emelino Cho, who will guide you as far as
Little
Quartz Ridge
, a steep and isolated plateau with an ecosystem unique to Belize, or
even to (at least) the lower slopes of
Doyle's Delight
, the highest peak in Belize. For
either trip, you'll need camping gear and supplies for at least three days, plus a great
deal of stamina.
An even more adventurous hike, the arduous eight-day
Maya Mountain Divide
Trail
, leads from San José to
Las Cuevas
, at the end of the Chiquibul Road in
Cayo; if you're interested, contact Marcos Cucul (see p.121) or Bruno Kuppinger.
