Take your time coming back, as the birds and butterflies are many and easy to sight. Our camp is found only a mile from the center of this ancient city. After touring the ruins, we will go on to t River Cave for a rafting journey into the underground world of a limestone cavern. We will pass through a primitive Mennonite village where you may see farmers plowing their fields by horse or other cultural activities. We ask that you respect their culture and privacy and do not take photographs.
Lunch is served on the banks of the river.
Get up early and see the wonders of the rainforest waking up. You can walk for a half an hour, half a day, or all day using our trail map to f the destinations. The trails feature exotic rainforest plants, orchids, bromeliads, and abundant birdlife and butterflies. Birders will undoubtedly be able to add to their life lists, as we have identified over 240 species of birds within Slate Creek Preserve alone. These include all three species of Toucans, many Hummingbirds, migratory birds, raptors, and Tanagers, Orioles, Oropendolas, Parrots, etc.
