Our detour on the way to Jaguar Paw was Peccary Park. There is not much written on-line about Peccary Park. Nothing in the Frommer's bnook either. Bottom line - it is a recently established national park. This is where my mom and I went to ride the ATVs. Now I am all about riding a scooter but I have never been on an ATV. My dad rode one at The Ponderosa a few years back but I never tried it.

In the middle of the ride we stopped at a cave. I wish I had the forethought to have taken a picture of the cave opening but the gazzillion (slight exageration) steps we needed to take to the top had me distracted. We pretty much shimmied into the cave - we were kind of standing, kind of leaning sideways on our stomaches, the opening wasn't that wide as I needed to take off my back pack to shimy in there. But once we got inside it was wide open and amazing! There were some old Mayan pots in the cave.

And during hurricanes our ATV guide's family uses it as a hurricane shelter. Go figure.
