So many birds down here I have loads of images and thought breaking them up a bit would be best. Here’s another installment of “Birds of Central America.” The Trogon photo below was taken at duPlooy’s Jungle Lodge in San Ignacio, Belize. The Ani photo below was taken on the side of the road near […]

Tikal, translated from Maya as”City of Spiritual Voices,” is one of the most magnificent of all Mayan sites. The 222-square mile Tikal National Park is located in northern Guatemala, in the heart of El Peten. This is a must see for anyone in Central America, particularly Belize & Guatemala, who has an interest in the

The first stop on our Guatemalan road trip was El Remate, a small village on the northeast corner of Lake Peten Itza. I had made a reservation at a hotel online, and discovered once we arrived that they did not receive it, but could accommodate nevertheless. It was very small and rustic, which is ok but

Another gem found in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest, Rio On Pools is a network of waterfalls and pools leading up to the breathtaking drop of Thousand Foot Falls. I went by myself to spend the day shooting pics and flowing with the current along the slippery rock formations leading from pool to refreshing pool.

With over 590 bird species, Belize is a birdwatcher’s paradise. I’ve had the good fortune of appropriate birding accommodations in Belize, first in the Georgeville bush and now at Smith Farm right outside of San Ignacio Town, where local birds are found by simply wandering outside my cabana. Every morning I’m out with my 200mm-400mm zoom trying to capturing
