We stayed at a small eco-lodge on the Lacandon River run by a local family. It was kind of sleepy; there was just another family or two there. Our host was busy during our stay - a forest fire had started down the road and he and other community members were fighting it. They live off the forest and have quite different management styles than their cattle ranching neighbors who burn the trees to make way for pasture.

In our honeymoon tree house
Tyler buffing it up
Arlo and Talia in our amazing abode. The mosquitoes weren't too bad but the mosquito netting was very welcome to keep out armies of ants. Not quite protective enough for Tyler and Sabina, who slept in a tent.

Beading on the porch by the riverside

Brian and Daniel victorious after jumping off a waterfall
The plunge of the almost 5o year olds, young onlookers gawking
The young men who jumped before us. We had an amazing exchange with these guys on every topic under the sun - migration, racism, ranching and hip hop.
