Checo Hill is our home, guesthouse and farm in the hills of Cayo District near to the Mountain Pine Ridge. We are located on the outskirts of the village of Seven Miles / El Progresso, a small farming community.
We offer bed and breakfast accommodation, a self-catering kitchen, meals on request and a variety of activities in the surrounding area and wider Cayo District.
We spent a long time exploring the land, sketching different possible layouts for the guesthouse, and generally thinking about what to do next. Eventually we came up with a plan we were hapy with, and were able to start on some work. The place had been abandonned for some time, so we began by clearing the area around the house, and burning old offcuts and the like.
Then we were able to start on some building work - it was wonderful to finally be making some progress! We started by building one of the walls that would help to divide up the space. This one is a partition between the dining room and the guest kitchen. We discovered almost immediately that finishing and converting a half built house was going to be much harder than building a house from scratch as we had in Sarteneja.
