To get to Iguana Cave you need to start at Katouche bay, cross through a little marsh, hike up the trail through Anguilla's "Rain forest," go up some (very) old steps, and mosey through a few cacti. Otherwise, you can start at the top by the road, but it's pretty hard to find unless you mark the spot by hiking the trail upwards first (*hint hint* two sticks in an 'X' 15 feet before the bulldozer). A beautiful beach to start at! Please don't take the coconut trees, as requested by the sign.
Every hole-- every single one-- had a little crab that would positively freak out when I walked by! There must have been some crustacean nervous breakdowns that day as I ran aroud chasing every little animal I found. Hermit crabs, Land crabs, Cattle Herons, Damn huge crabs...
Steps to Iguana Cave! I still don't know who made them- let me know if you have any ideas. Frontrunners right now are the English (who mined Phosphorous from caves in Anguilla) Arawak indians, and lastly: very enthusiastic naturalists who decided to maintain the trail for future generations.
Me! At this precipice, peaceful wasps were buzzing around the plants as songbirds were echoing across the valley. Quite a beautiful part of Anguilla. Shortly afterward I found the (very dark) Iguana cave. Next week I'll remember to bring a flashlight and investigate the interior.
