    Canoeing the Macal River either with or without a guide is a great way to spend the day. You will pass by some lush jungle vegetation and steep cliffs in addition to a multitude of birds and possibly iguanas.

    Stops along the Macal River include an interpretive Medicine Trail, the blue morpho butterfly farm at Cha Creek and the Botanical Gardens at DuPlooys. Inquire at Eva's about arranging for a guide or just a canoe. You can also be dropped off upstream and just canoe back into town (much easier!).

    The Macal River also offers a great swimming opportunity, the further upstream you are from San Ignacio, the better. We swam here at DuPlooys.

    Eva's is a restaurant in San Ignacio, but since I didn't actually eat there, I didn't want to put it in my restaurant tips. The thing about Eva's is, the people who run the place give great information about where to stay and what to do. When we stopped at a hotel that was full, the owner told us to go to Eva's to find a place. Just tell them what you want to spend and they'll steer you in the right direction.

    Eva's also provides day trips to Barton Creek Cave, Tikal and other spots nearby. We took the Cave trip ($25 USD per person) and had a great time!

  • Go see David at David's Tours. Very cool guy. Extremely knowledgeable. Take his canoe/cave tour! Excellent.

    Note: After our tour was over and we were chilling at the swimming hole, Dave fired up a major dube. He kept to himself, away from all of us on his tour, and didn't make a big show out of it. He is a rasta. We were a tad concerned as we had our 8 yr old son w/ us and Davide was doing all the driving.

    All of our tours in the San Ignacio area originated from Belize CIty. Prior to going to Belize I contacted pacztours and scheduled a trip to ATM for me and my family. Pacztours picked us up in Belize City and drove us back and forth to ATM. It was an incredibly wonderful tour, full of history and fun. We had such a great time with Danny our tour guide that we scheduled another full day for Mayan Ruins. The next day we visited Xunantunich and Cahal Pech. Our guide was very knowledgable and always flexible with our special requests. On the ATM tour a bag lunch was provided. When we did the Mayan sites, a lunch in downtown San Ignacio was provided.

    I would recommend highly recommend anyone looking for tours in the San Ignacio area to contact Jamal at http://www.pacztours.net/index.html
