Hello from BELIZE - Surviving the Rainforest
A 3 day, 30 mile jungle expedition spells adventure for a group of 7.
Join the expedition ?....
*********************************************
SURVIVING THE RAINFOREST
I felt like I?d entered a pasta forest. Everywhere I turned there were vines
-- some twisted like rotini, some hung over rocks like spaghetti or spiraled
and looped like cavatappi. Others were gnarled together like shredded
wheat or hung in our pathway like licorice. Fungi grew on trees like
frosted cookies. Draped across the branches of trees were garlands of
blooming orchids.
When I packed my bags and moved to Belize four years ago, my love for
backpacking and camping came with me. Ever since I?d heard of this
3-day, 30-mile jungle trek through part of the Meso-American Biological
Corridor between the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and Five Blues
Lake National Park, I was interested. Its karst limestone formations and
caves had been likened to walking through a giant block of Swiss cheese.
When I learned that Marcos Cucul, my former neighbor, was leading the
trip, I knew that I wanted to go even though I?d be joining a group of
complete strangers. The caving adventure that he led me on a few years
ago has remained near the top of my ?Best Adventures in Belize? list and
thus my expectations for this new one were high.
