Hi- Does anyone know how far DuPlooys is to town? Can we use canoes to go into town to have lunch/dinner?

Thanks!

You can canoe into San Ignacio town for lunch. They usually pick you up and drive you back. Hard to canoe upstream all the way back. It's only about 5 miles as the crow flies but will take you several hours as the river twists & turns. They offer it as a half day trip.

Thanks Barbara- Do you think our hotel will pick us up (plus the canoes??)

Are you staying at duPlooys? Yes, they will pick you up in town. Fairly standard half day tour. If you are on an inclusive 3 or 4 night package, it's included. If you are doing tours "a la carte" it's about $60 per canoe (1 - 4 people). Lunch in town not included and there are lots of places to choose from walking distance from the river.
