Staying at Casa Gala means a must for having Millie cook the meals. There was such ease in communicating between Christy and my group. We did have difficulty communicating on the way up since our rental didn't have a phone but Christy worked it out to have someone greet us when we finally made it. A 4x4 is a must to make it up to this beautiful destination and the Belize zoo is a nice stop from the airport on the way up. My friend and I were fortunate to experience some of the rainfall during our stay and also saw a family of howler monkeys, toucans, and a hummingbird. You can hear the haunting noises of the howler monkeys and watch the sun rise over the mountain.
