From San Ignacio there is a turn off south onto the beautiful Cristo Rey Road. Its a 9 mile stretch of unpaved highway that links to Chiquibul Road and eventually circles back onto the Western Highway. Off this road are some of the most gorgeous Cabañas, Lodges and weekend getaways nested in the middle of a dense jungle. We decided to take this narrower road to go check out Mystic River Lodge and further down the Macaw’s Cabins. It was a fun challenge especially; roads muddy, ridiculous climbs and the bikes heavy with our bags. Both places were fully booked of course. Fortunately we found the gorgeous M.E.T. lodge off Chiquibul Rd. A few hours later and rigt before dark.
