That path has been preserved, and it has become one of the major attractions for tourists who visit the Cayo District. Visitors to the Ix Chel Tropical Research Center can walk along the trail, which has signs in front of each medicinal tree and plant describing its history and uses. Near the end of the walk, visitors can view a recreation of Don Panti's home. They can be ordered individually by mail in the U.S., but federal labelling regulations and the powerful A.M.A. lobby have so far blocked their distribution to U.S. health food stores. Ix Chel Farms and the Panti Trail is right next door to Chaa Creek Resort.
Many tourists get there and back by canoing along the river.
Most Cayo resorts and hotels can arrange a canoe rental and will arrange to pick you up when you dock.
