Guanduras: Finca Ixobel to Río Dulce

<-- Previous [Guanduras Index] Next -->

I did mention the fruit part of the travel plan, yes? Purple Caimitos,
yellow Granadillos, orange Jocotes, and purple Mangosteens.

Tiny granadillo seeds, crescent caimito seeds, and oval jocote seeds
resting in a Flambouyant tree pod, with an empty caimito peel.

Reflection of Pyramid Hill in the swimming hole at Finca Ixobel.

A macaw is ready for his food already. And he's pissed his name is "Julie".

The cave at Finca Ixobel is relatively untouched and pristine.

Living dripways build stalagmite towers up from the floor.

Enormous column accretion with excellent textures in the back of the cave.

Islands of stalagmites perpetually protruding higher and higher from a pool of water.

Fascinating textures of all sorts line all surfaces of the cave.

Unfortunately, the sign doesn't discourage thieves of the human persuasion.

Hot thermal waterfall at Finca Paraíso outside of Río Dulce.
Please note the large omnomnomnom face in the rock behind the waterfall.

Boats fueling up at an aquatic gas station in Río Dulce.

Lake Izabal gets very choppy in the afternoon as we head through El Golfete to Lívingston.
