Cave Tubing at Jaguar Paw

Our last day at Duplooys...so sad. We really could have used one additional day here...just to continue to enjoy the jungle...so nice. But as a conciliation prize, we arranged to have one more tour before we hit the airport to head out to the Caye's. We decided to hook up with Fermin again and take a little side trip to float thru the caves at Jaguar Paw (no idea were the name came from, but it sounds good). One note about this little place is that during high season the cruise ships drop off hundreds of people off to do this little trip, so we are very happy it is the low season.

One note on the low season to date...Fricken awesome...beautiful weather and lower prices...

The river is very different than the Macal River (we canoed earlier in the trip from Duplooys). It is very clear with a teal tint from all of the minerals in the water. We had about an hour hike from the van to our the start of our little float...beautiful!

The float took about 2 hours and was great. Cool, but refreshing water just strolled thru the caves and took us along for the slow but steady ride. Just about all of the float was in the caves, or traversing a small bits of jungle en route to the next cave. All in all a great time...too short, but great fun. Side note, there was this dog (German Shepard) that was at the beginning of the trip and jumped into the river...he swam all the way thru the caves and was at the bottom when we got there...turns out he does it all the time...weird).

So from our little jaunt into the caves, we drove off to the airport to catch a flight over to to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye...let the good times role...here are a couple pics of our ride over...and the plane...LOL. So we arrived and are are hanging out...doing some exploring and really just resting because we were going like gang busters for a couple days now. I figure we will get a little rest and start our little diving adventure on Monday or so...but check back to see. That is all for now...

Cheers! RB
