A week in Cayo for the Winter Solstice Contest winner, based out of Chaa Creek's Macal River Camp, and starting with a tour of the Belize Zoo. Of course it was awesome! What a great thank you note and review at the same time.
"Thank you SO much for our wonderful vacation! I feel extremely lucky and fortunate to be the winner of the Maya Winter Solstice Competition! The trip was so full of awesomeness that I almost don’t know where to start…
We really loved all of the tours we were able to do. Caracol was awe-inspiring and we felt privileged to have Mr. Hugh as our tour guide. He is so passionate about Mayan history and archaeology. Barton Creek Cave and Rio Frio were also breathtaking and turning the lights out while sitting in the canoe so deep in the cave in total darkness was bone chilling. The morning of December 21, 2012 we woke up and took a ride to the stables. I was a bit nervous about riding a horse through the jungle because I had only ridden a gentle horse in fields in the past. It took me about ten minutes to warm up to riding and the horses all ride in line so well."
