Nature Walk and Learning Things

After we left Cahal Pech, we wandered around San Ignacio and noticed that the San Ignacio Hotel was offering a nature walk. We were pretty excited, so we signed up.

We learned about a tree called "Grandpa's Balls" thats supposed to help with bugs the burrow under your skin. The sap, apparently, suffocates them when it's spread on your skin, which causes them to come back out for air.

We also ate live termites. Paul loved them, but I thought they were pretty gross. Paul actually had to smoosh them before I would eat it. Eating live bugs freaks me out.

The hotel staff took us to an iguana exhibit at the end of the nature walk, where they housed (and hatched) tons of iguanas. The guy kept putting them all over us! We had iguanas on our shoulders, arms, backs, and even on our heads. <3Read more
