About Spanish Lookout

One site refers to Spanish Lookout as "unique in Belize because except for the palm trees one might think one was in a small town in the Northern United States. " As a native Vermonter who has resided in Florida for many years, I fell in love with the place because, to me, it is Vermont in the tropics... the best of all worlds.

Another site explaind that "there are three ways into Spanish Lookout. One requires the use of a hand cranked ferry, one is a long dirt road that goes through the neighboring town of Bullet Tree, and one is a bridge the Mennonites built after years of promises to build one by the government and one failed attempt. (Fell down about half way through construction)" The latter of these ways into Spanish Lookout (though I love the ferry) has been upgraded to a first-class paved road, one of the best in the region. It is important to understand that the Mennonites build and maintain their own infrstructure within their community of Spanish Lookout and that it is some of the best infrastructure in Belize. Of course, Iguana Creek benefits from their diligence.
