For two nights, we set  camp  along the Moho River - the camp locations are sublime and there's always time for swimming, exploring or just soaking in the beauty of the rainforest before dinner is served.  At night, river guides turn into riverside chefs preparing their favorite meals,including fresh tortillas and savory fire roasted chicken. Using their bush skills and sharing their intimate relationship with the rainforest your Mayan guides make camping along the Moho River a high point of any trip.
