Day 3 - It’s worth getting up early to join duPlooy’s bird guide on the deck as you can see many exotic species while drinking your morning coffee or tea. If you want to sleep a little longer, be at the dining room by 7:30 for breakfast, all ready to spend the days exploring Barton Creek Cave where you will canoe through stalactites and stalagmites seen only by flashlight while your guide imparts tales of ancient Mayan History. After a picnic lunch, visit the exceptional Green Hills Butterfly Ranch just up the road, followed by a cooling swim in the cascades of Big Rock Falls located in Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge. BLD
Day 4 – A big adventure day today! Travel by road or horse to Flour Camp Cave (If you go by road, there is a hike of about 45 minutes to the cave), explore the cave (don’t forget to bring flashlights and good hiking shoes) and enjoy a picnic lunch in the forest. Return to duPlooy's on the Macal River by inner tube, stopping for a snack and swim along the way. BLD
 Day 5 - Learn about the Maya people by visiting two nearby Mayan sites – Xunantunich and Cahal Pech, both located within 10 miles of duPlooy's.
