One
of the highlights to a visit to Livingston is the hike to Seven Alters.
We decided to join a group to do the hike with a guide, pictured to the
left, cooling off in a waterfall at The Seven Alters. The hike was
approximately 8 miles round trip. The hike began in Livingston proper.
From there, we hiked through a Garifuna village, were taken by canoe
down a short stretch of river, then walked along the beach, where we
finally turned up into the jungle to reach The Seven Alters.Bottom Left: Pineapple plants were growing wild along the trail.

After
crossing the bridge we walked along the beach for a few miles. Along
the way we saw many locals fishing for shrimp, fish, and other goodies.

Here we could cool off in the water and enjoy the jungle environment. The event took all day and we were happy but exhausted when we got back to Livingston. We also had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people from around the world including, Australia, Canada, and Europe.
