Got a taxi out of town to the Lodge at Chaa Creek; it's west of San Ignacio, right on the Macal river. It's a huge, beautiful property with lots of trails; we got a map from Reception and walked part of the Rainforest Medicine trail, which was interesting; read the descriptions on the plants, shrubs and trees.
Had a wonderful lunch at the enormous open style restaurant - very upscale - and tasted our first key lime pie - delicious!
Then walked up to the Blue Morpho butterfly farm and took pictures of them landing on our t-shirts and hats. They also have a small Natural History Centre.
By then it was time to head to the employee parking area where we hitched a ride back to town with the Maintenance manager.
It was a very hot day and we thought longingly of how cool it had been in the cave the day before.
