COZUMEL ATV JUNGLE TOUR

Story and Photos by

LEE A. WOOD

I joined two couples from Denver, Colorado, USA.	Bear (me) on a bike.
The narrow trail wound through the dense jungle.	Though we, often, couldn't see it we were, usually, close to the beach.

Me, at the entrance into the ruin.	Guide, inside the entrance into the ruin.
L. to R.: Michelle; Guide in Training; Allan; Ron; Dara; Freddy. Freddy tells us how priests would live in this small room for several years. Note the small window to Dara's right.	Waiting for another guide.

The guide shows us where to stand.	A hand on each wall, close your eyes, and make a wish.
	Across the street from the tour company, at Punta Morenos, we are given an excellent meal of chicken & tortillas at Senor Iguana's Restaurant & Bar.

2002 May 24. I booked an ATV Jungle Tour with one of the many sales kiosks scattered around El Centro in Cozumel. At noon I met with the salesman and he walked me to the town center, by the ferry terminal, and introduced me to the bus driver. Thereby saving having to write out a receipt and ticket for the tour.

The narrow trail wound through the dense jungle.

Though we, often, couldn't see it we were, usually, close to the beach.

Aproxiamtely half way, in our trip, we stopped at Playa Las Tortugas for cokes and a short swim but the water was too yucky to see the rocks underneath and the waves were too high to kayak out to the reef for snorkelling.
This area was once a breeding ground for turtles and had been posted as a sanctuary.
However, after posting, the turtles were even more molested so they took down the signs.

Using an old cable drum for a counter the guides offered us free refreshment.

Because of a storm near Cuba, the water was rough.

Since we didn't go snorkelling we had more time and the guides took us to an ancient ruin.

On the way out we stopped for a rest and to allow other traffic to pass.

On the way back the guide chased a small snake off the road.

On the way back we stopped at a smaller ruin.

The guide shows us where to stand.

A hand on each wall, close your eyes, and make a wish.

The van takes the short way home and had us back at our hotels by 6 PM
