I have only taken a handful of these photos, most were done by a photographer with our group.
The jungle crossing is a new experience offered by an exploration tour group where they take you off the beaten track into the jungle by unimog and on foot. The jungle hides some huge caves. Here you enter and swim in an underground river system which stretches over 170km under the limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It is the second longest underground river network in the world.
The track was absolutely terrible with the unimog sometimes only on three wheels................Brilliant!!
Our guide Marcus was excellent
Our driver Willie was insane but a real character
The track
This is where we entered the underground rivers
The roof of the caves above the river is home to lots of fruit bats.
At the some stages the only light available in the caves was from our torches.
The mayan women made us a traditional lunch which was lovely, I felt it only polite to have seconds!
although they live in the middle of this jungle they make goods to sell to the tourists.
A red back tarantula we came across
And of course a lizard on the move
Some people could not resist messing around............I got told off by everyone.
I got my gorgeous wife to join me though!!
Hi Mom............Hi Dad!!
