Belize: An Ecotourist's Eden

摘要

After a rigorous hike through the Belizean jungle, my husband and 13-year-old son strapped themselves into safety belts and were hooked up to ropes by wilderness guides. Then they stepped backward off a rocky cliff and rappelled 300 feet through the rain forest canopy into a sinkhole. A few miles away, my 15-year-old daughter and I donned headlamps and hopped into inner tubes, paddling with a guide deep into a network of caves used by Mayan priests centuries ago.
