Belize and Guatemala
The Blue Hole, Lighthouse Atoll, Belize.
This is a famous dive site, which consists of a 450 foot deep limestone sinkhole.
You dive down to a depth of 130 ft, surrounded by large groupers, tunas, and the occasional shark. From there, you go inside a small overhang with stalactites and stalagmites. And you hope your equipment functions properly.
The Caye Caulker Ferry Service, Belize.
This is the main mode of transport in Belize between the mainland and the Cayes, which is where most of the tourist infrastructure, beaches, and dive cites are located.
Top of Temple IV, Tikal, Guatemala.
Looking back at Temple IV from the Acropolis, Tikal.
Temple VI, Tikal.
Note the staircase to the left, that's how you can climb up there. It's a good day of exercise to climb all the pyramids there!
Flores, Guatemala.
Outside San Ignacio (Cayo), Belize.
We went out caving in Actun Tunichil Muknal, a recently discovered 3.5 mile long cave that was used by the Maya in around 800-900 A.D. for religious purposes, including human sacrifice.
The road out to Actun Tunichil Muknal discourages all but the most determined... We spent 30 minutes pushing along with our guide to get this 4WD out of knee deep mud.
Iguana Junction Lodge, San Ignacio, Belize.
Most of Belize's hotels are small, family run establishments. They take good care of you.
