Adventure is mystery and mystic. Think about travelling to Central America, Belize. In the path of the Mayan rain god lays a land forgotten in time... a mountainous rainforest region fed by powers of nature beyond imagination... a place where a description of a thousand words or a hundred pictures would only cast a ripple on the surface of a jade-green river so pure as to have been made in heaven itself. This is the edge of civilization. This is Black Rock River Lodge, Belize.
Adventure is history and almost forgotten ancient times. What about visiting a country of very ancient civilization like China with China provinces, Chinese large cities, small villages, the cost of Yellow sea, Buddhist monasteries in mountains, and so on. Besides, they say, visit to China is an adventure because the life there so differ...
Adventure is meeting with wild nature. Where in the Midwest can an outdoors enthusiast go to find true wilderness adventure? Where can an angler go to find some of the best smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, or lake trout fishing in the Midwest, probably even North America? Where can a family get a taste of the north woods flavor? Two words, one thought, will sum it up: Ely Minnesota. The Ely area offers all the fishing and outdoor activities the angler, adventurer, or outdoors-person might be looking for.
Adventure is an active holidays like two weeks of travel in remote but picturesque areas of the Philippines or horseback riding, birding, and hiking on jungle trails...
Escaping reality at secluded Vaca Falls or enjoying the sun on our sandy river-beaches... Climbing through pottery strewn Mayan caves... Exploring Maya Temples such as Caracol and Tikal... Swimming and canoeing in pristine spring fed rivers...
Or simply relaxing in a hammock with a gorgeous view of towering limestone cliffs, overlooking the Macal River, lush tropical jungle, and all that while sipping on an ice-cold local beer or fresh fruit punch!
