Day 12: Belize Zoo and Cave Tubing
Our group got an early start on the day as we boarded a speedboat and headed out to the mainland at Belize City. Our first stop was the Belize zoo, where we were amazed by the native animals. Some of the animals we saw were the beautiful Scarlet Macaw, the Great Curassow, the feared vultures, the Harpy Eagle, Howler Monkeys, and the ferocious jaguar. For our next excursion, we lathered up with bug spray, put on our guide lights, and battled the mosquitoes through the subtropical rainforest. Once we reached our destination, we hopped in inner tubes and floated down the “refreshing” river through the dark caves containing hidden waterfalls. Later tonight, we will attend the island’s beach barbeque for dinner and enjoy a night in town as we are nearing the end of an amazing two weeks in beautiful Belize.
