We decided this year to make our anniversary trip an adventure. The Jungle Dome and its staff made our home away from home a great place. We have had a fantastic week. Coming at this time of year was great because in most cases our activities were simply us and our guide.

Black Hole Drop – start with a bang! A great hike, great rappel and beautiful scenery (a wonderful introduction to the jungle)



Cave Tubing – Luis showed us all the plants and unlike all the other groups, we floated at our own pace

Zip Line – A fun experience which unfortunately ended too soon

ATM – what an amazing trip! First swimming in among the cave was neat but then to be able to see and admire such a beautiful place. Francisco did a great job explaining what occurred and what they think happened in such a sacred place.



Horseback Riding – it was a pleasure to actually run the horses and learn from Cesar.

Massage – Susan enjoyed this brief respite from the jungle

Mountain Bike ride – Eric rode with David to Valley of Peace and back – ahhh forgot how tough riding off road on loose gravel is

Che Chem Ha cave – what an amazing cave and to be escorted by William , the guy who found it. Amazing that places like these are all around.



Kayaking – We enjoyed the botany education from Link but the ride was not quite the adventure we expected

Caracol – ahh the Mayan ruins you read about. Amazing to see the buildings the Mayans made so long ago

Keep the bug spray bottle full, know that 95% of the roads are bumpy, enjoy the adventures and absorb the Belizean culture, life and people.
