wonderful landscape by Trekki
It is thrilling, finding your way through the fast growing trees and plants - even more, if you do it with experienced riders.
I was even more thrilled to see (now, in 2005), that Charlie and her Easy Rider is still operating !!
To do this tour with her was absolutely rewarding, she knows so much, she cuts-off the way fro you, and she invites you to picknick on some of the rivers there.
You don't need any specific thing to bring, she has all you need.
Ok, get sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat - and better if you wear long trousers and something long sleeved.
The good thing is that, once you book this trip, you need to pin down your weight and height, and of course, experience, so she selects the best horse for you.
For me, being on a horse whenever I can, and thus having at least some experience, it can be a nightmare, if they give you slow horses or ones, that are used only to go slowly.
Charlie had given me Mabel - and I was SATISFIED !
It was (Dec 1998) 25 $ for half day and 40$ for full day (including meals) Leave a Comment Address: At Arts & Crafts of Central America, next to Eva'sPhone: 823-3734Directions: Easy Rider Ltd.

 Canoeing on Macal River by Trekki
Macal river maeanders through the area, and thus is perfect for any kind of canoeing trips.
I tried to find the ones, we have booked in 1997, but failed to remember the name (and it was not specifically mentioned in my travelbook...).
But as it's quite popular, you should not have a problem in finding a good one.
We have booked at Martha's, and our guide was called Colin the Crocodile.
We had so much fun, as he had explained us the animals and the trees and all.
Toucans were flying bananas - bats were flying mouse :-)
For the trip we did, it was good to have bathing suits (as they let you have a bath in the river), good shoes, as they take you to a medicine trail and you need to hike for a while.
Camera is a MUST, and sunsceen is not too bad.
Long sleeves shirts, as depending on the season, mosquitos might like to suck your blood. Leave a Comment Theme: Kayaking/CanoeingAddress: anywhere in San IgnacioDirections: We have booked at Martha's

 River (inner tube and my knee
in the corner) by grandmaR, 4 more photos
I saw a kingfisher (I tried to get a picture, but it wasn't very good), a green heron wading on top of one of the falls, ducks, swallows, a big orange tufted bird, and a horseback rider. (You can also go horseback riding at Clarissa Falls)
You rent the inner tubes for $BZ10 and arrange either for drop off or pick up. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
