Caracol


Our tour to Caracol travels on a bumpy, windy road and continues on a bumpy, windy road for almost two hours. A highlight was the military escort that followed us to the park. Then we saw more RUINS.

Another half hour on a bumpy, windy road and we came to a large CAVE with a sand beach inside.

Another half hour on the bumpy, windy road and we got to jump in some WATERFALLS and the water felt clean and refreshing.

And then an hour of bumpy, windy road back to San Ignacio.

And then Mr. Williams the driver took us on the slowest cross-country drive the roads have ever seen. I kept peeking over his shoulder to view the speedometer and saw that the needle was at least below 30km/h, but then I realized that the needle was actually broken off. Anyways, he rambled on for the entire journey about rain and flooding and how this and that bridge was washed out and this family all got drowned and here is where they are buried and I just sat in horror, silently willing him to change topics or accelerate. He did neither.
