After a delicious breakfast, Francisco has us load up and off we go to Xunantunich. When we first got there I thought there is no way I am going to make it to the top, and if I do how the heck will I get down ? Well that was not a consideration at all. Hearing the history, getting caught up in the feeling and enormity of the place, I was going up and down the steps without a thought. Such a beautiful and wonderful experience.
After a terrific lunch at a local restaurant, we go to the Macal river. As we were waiting for our river guide, we watched children having fun, just being kids playing in the river. No TV or Video games to prevent them from just playing and being free.
We then started our canoe trip down the Macal River, searching for birds, Iguanas and other wildlife. So peaceful and beautiful. We came across the coolest area that was loaded with bats.
Tonight Francisco took us for night hike through the jungle around Pooks Hill. We find Tarantula's, many, many different birds, and try to follow other noises of the jungle to see what we might come upon. I just love trekking through the jungle and night time just makes it that much more fun.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
