During our stay on Isla Bastimentos, we took a boat trip up a sluggish river/slough to visit a large cave, home to nectar bats. As our guide paddled up the brackish slough, he pointed out various animal life. The cave was about a mile hike up a muddy trail from where we beached the boat. Once in the cave, we ventured through branching tunnels with headlamps. Wading through cold, thigh-high water, trying not to worry about what might be lurking around our ankles.
