The resort where we stayed offered various "Adventures" for their guests. These tours ranged from zip-lining in the jungle to bird watching to scuba diving, there was something for everyone. Kyle and I went scuba diving, hiked in the rainforest, went bird watching, toured the Mayan ruins, and went on a riverboat tour. It was a great way to see some of Belize, and each day the tours ended with plenty of time to take a nice relaxing swim and lounge in a hammock for a bit...sounds perfect to me!

In the next few days, I'll be posting pictures from our different excursions, and up today is our tour of the Mayan ruins and our hike through the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Jaguar Preserve...and no we did not see jaguars (even though I really really was hoping to). With a name like "Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Jaguar Preserve", I expected to drive around in an enclosed car and watch the big beautiful cats. Wait, what was that? This is a hike through the jungle not a safari, you say? All my wishing and hoping for a jaguar sighting was futile. I suppose it doesn't help that jaguar are nocturnal and weren't up and about during the day, but that's probably for the best since we were hiking and roaming around on foot not barreling through the forest in a large, protective, fast vehicle. Even though I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see any gigantic wild felines, the trip was a lot of fun and the rainforest is beautiful as are the Mayan ruins.
