	Benque Viejo Del Carmen at MyBelizeAdventure.com : Destinations: Cayo : Benque Viejo Del Carmen
		Founded in the 1860's by a handful of Guatemalan refugees, the small, quiet town of Benque Viejo Del Carmen (often referred to as Benque) is today considered the border town and is visited primarily to cross into the Guatemalan town of Melchor de Mencos.
		Benque Viejo, which is Spanish for ‘Old Bank', got its name from being a riverside logging camp in the Colonial era of Belizean History when logging camps near to rivers were referred to as ‘banks'.
		Chicleros would gather in Benque Viejo to ensure that the mahogany logs they labored to extract from the forests were successfully floated down the river to later be exported to England.
