One of my favorite adventures

We got a whole horse riding lesson, rode all the way to Xunantunich, and saw a lot of birds and howler monkeys during the ride. Our guide in Xunantunich was excellent, very knowledgeable, and they got us in there first thing in the morning before many other people were in and before it got very hot. Walking around the site when the sun was coming up over El Castillo was just awesome! There was some kind of issue with the van that they had planned to take us to cave tubing, but they were able to find another really nice van pretty quickly. We were served a tasty homemade lunch at the cave tubing location and then went on to the cave. The water was a little cold, but... we got to leave our tubes on the side for a bit to walk around and swim through the cave. Our guide, same one as in Xunantunich, told us about the plants on the way and the bats in the cave. He also told us about the Mayan myths about the caves. A couple of people in our group were not super outdoorsy, but he even managed to make them comfortable. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend it highly, maybe even do it again if we were in the area. :)
