Cave Tubing Jaguar Paw
Просмотров 4224 года назад
Our last stop on the mainland of Belize before heading out to Caye Caulker was this awesome cave tubing excursion at Jaguar Paw. There was plenty to see on the forty minute hike through the jungle, from iguanas to birds and squirrels, and the river at the mouth of the cave flowed with the kind of clear blue water that you only see in vacation magazines. But the most humbling part of all was goi...
Jungle Waterfall Hike - (Chan Chich Lodge)

While we were staying at Chan Chich Lodge in Belize, we received a tip about a beautiful waterfall in the nearby jungle. One of the guides at the lodge took us on the thirty minute hike into the jungle, and man was it worth it.

Welcome to Chan Chich Lodge, one of the most beautiful places in Belize. The 30,000 acres of jungle that makes up the preserve is an amazing habitat for thousands of species, and the some of the animals are so used to humans being at the lodge that they are comfortable wandering around only feet away from you.

Tapir spotting on Chan Chich Night Drive
Просмотров 994 года назад
Baird's Tapir, the national animal of Belize, is Central America's largest mammal. It's an herbivore, and is equipped with a prehensile trunk which it uses to pick leaves to eat. Though it looks like a small elephant, the tapir's closest relatives in the animal kingdom are the rhinoceros and horse. This tapir was spotted on a safari night drive at Chan Chich Lodge (www.chanchich.com).
which tour company did you book with?
We booked it through our hotel, the Cahal Pech Village Resort. Not sure what company they used to run the actual tour!
I loved Xunantunich, you can explore it yourself! It was real fun to stand on top of the pyramid pretending to command legions of bloodthirsty Mayan warriors lined up on the plaza below you to go ravage the neighboring villages and gather fresh prisioners we can sacrifice to the gods after we make them play our rubber ball game.
Sorry...but you cannot sex an iguana until they are about 2 years old
Great Share, People!!! : )
Love how informative this is! And beautiful footage.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed and found it helpful!
Ahhh this is amazing! I know this may sound crazy, but in 2019, i was part of the crew that excavated Plaza B at Xunantunich (the “new excavation” shown off in your video! It warms my heart to see it after these many years away… we havnt been allowed back for nearly three years due to travel restrictions (covid obvi) but this video helped ease a bit of my heartache!
Whaaaat, that's incredible!! That means so much, thank you for commenting and sharing! I'm so happy you found our video, and that it was able to bring you back to your trip. It must have been such an incredible experience to work on that site! Such a dream! And thank YOU, for being part of that excavation! It was such a cool and memorable part of our trip to Xunantunich to see it and find out that it had just been restored. We went in October 2019, and the longing to want to go back is REAL. One of the most magical places. Here's to hoping we're both able to return there someday soon!
The water is so clear. The fish don't seem frightened either. This is definitely on my list to visit.
It was a really wonderful experience, and yes, the fish were pretty chill about us coming into their nice quiet spot :). The hike to get to the waterfall is pretty easy and mostly flat as well. When we stayed at Chan Chich Lodge, this wasn't something that was listed under the excursions they offered, but we received a tip from one of the guides at the lodge that they'll take you if you ask. So if you do go to the lodge and want to do this, just make sure to ask them about it!
@@adirondackexplorers2941 I definitely will and thanks for the tip.
No problem :)
Was Derrick your driver? Next time we're in the country I want to see Caracol. Would love to hire him.
Derrick was our driver, and he was awesome! We did our tour through the Cahal Pech Village Resort, which had pretty comparable prices to any other tour company in San Ignacio. Not sure whether Derrick is still there or not, but if he is we can't recommend him enough!
@@adirondackexplorers2941 Thank you so much for replying. I will look into hiring him when we next visit, if he's still in business. I've only been inland to tour Lamanai, go cave tubing, and zip-lining. Hubby and I want to see more of Western Belize, so we're planning a stay in San Ignacio. Belize is our future home in about five years, or so and I'd love to see more of it.
Jealous! We've talked about wanting to move there one day. It's such an amazing country! San Ignacio is a wonderful city to visit, and there's so much to do around it. Xunantunich is definitely worth the time, and it's just outside the city. Cahal Pech is another very cool ruin, and that one is right IN the city. We just walked there. Hope you enjoy your next trip there! Lamanai is one we're hoping to see next time.
How did you enjoy this tour? The Manatees are amazing!
This tour was incredible! I usually prefer snorkeling without tour guides, since you can take more time...but considering how many places the guides took us and how amazing it all was, it's hard to beat. Would do it again in a heartbeat! We got so lucky with the Manatee! One of the coolest underwater encounters of my life. Seeing them so close in person is awe-inspiring.
Thanks
Amazing. That's how the Mayans ended up there. They got stranded and said, what the hey, let's stay.
😂! Brilliant. I wish we could have stayed, so hey, sounds legitimate to me!
Awesome video 🔥🔥!! Thanks you for capturing that unforgettable experience. When you visit Belize again, maybe we can do a "Stranded in Caracol" prt 2.
I second that!
Thanks, Derrick! I'd be pretty ok with it becoming a tradition :). And thank you for being such an amazing guide and all around awesome dude! Glad to have shared this experience with you -- it was one of the craziest things that's ever happened to us traveling, and you helped make it a blast. Here's to the next time!
loved the video .. we have been to Caracol 4 times in the last ten yrs of visiting Belize, we flew a drone there on one adventure. thought it was funny we stayed in the top floor of the tree house to your left at Cahal Pech Resort..Hopefully you visited Cahal Pech itself it is a beautiful little site ..we did not get stranded we did blow a front axle joint and limped back out .. with our guides father meeting us half out to help.. we have many friends now in Belize.. thanks for the memories because of 19 we did not go back this year .. we miss it .. again great vid have to wander through your others .. we have a few vids of out travels up as well ..be well
4 times over ten years of trips!! That's awesome. It's such a magical ruin. Definitely worth the crazy drive to get there. We were hoping to go back last year, but with everything happening in the world we ended up having to scrap that trip, so I hear you on missing it. Such a wonderful country to visit. That's pretty funny about the Cahal Pech Resort tree house you stayed in! Loved staying there. We did get a chance to check out Cahal Pech as well, hoping to get a short video up for that in the future as well. (Currently working on one for Tikal.) I'll check out some of the vids of your travels! Thanks so much for watching. I hope you get to go back to Belize soon!
Is this creek open for the public?
At this time I believe it isn't. I think the lodge has special permission to take people there. Worth checking with Chan Chich for more info, though!
clear as a bell, make many vids.
Really great 30 seconds of peace.
Many years ago before you were born some of us Fall Clove people would go hunting at Long Lake, I was amazed how vast the Adirondacks were and if not careful one could get really lost. Dad
That was perfect. Dad
Love the video, good job. I had an Iguana many years ago that I bought in a pet shop. Dad
Thanks!! You had an iguana?! Things I never knew! These guys were pretty friendly, really, so I could see how they would make good pets. These get released into the wild eventually, but until then the iguanas have the run of the place, and get lots of petting :).
Really great job with the video, loved it.
Thanks!
Love it , Dad
Glad you enjoyed it :)!
love the view!! keep posting my friend!
Thank you! We shall--almost done with editing our next video!
