What a pleasant day we had on this tour! In the morning we visited Xunantunich, and our guide, Eder, gave us such interesting information about this Mayan ruin! He presented a "vision" of what it was like to live long ago! After the archeologic exploring we changed gears for an afternoon of natural beauty, a bit of physical action (hiking into a waterfall, then swimming in the waterfall pools) interspersed with relaxation on a huge double-decker pontoon, as we navigated the Macal River. Jovanni was our boat captain, guide and chef, preparing a delicious meal which was cooked on a pontoon grill. He brought us to explore all his favorite places; caves, pools, beaches, that he frequented as a young boy. This area was once his "backyard" and we could FEEL his love for this land ... which made our experience even more worthwhile. Jovanni provided a lush, but safe, experience, and brought out the "kid" in us (75 year olds!) Thanks Eder and Jovanni for gifting us an amazing 10 star experience!
