HACIENDA TIJAX


On the day before Matt had to leave, we went for a beautiful horseback ride through a rubber & teak plantation. Our guides Raoul & Victor along with horses, Zorro, Aguila & Guapo made for a great day despite the intense heat. Peter however suffered from painful saddle sores the next day!!

CASTIILO SAN FELIPE, LAGO IZABEL


The fort was built in 1652, to defend against pirates seeking gold carried by Spanish ships. The ships would come into the river & anchor in Lake Izabel where they would be protected by the fort. Today, it is a national landmark & museum.
