Belize
boasts one of the most extensive cave systems in Central America, which
the ancient Mayans utilized for shelter and ceremonial purposes. Here
is an opportunity to experience this fascinating underworld in a unique
and fun way.A transfer from Belize City on the Western Highway brings you to the Caves Branch River and its winding path through the Maya Mountains. On arrival at Jaguar Paw, be prepared for a 45-minute jungle trail hike. Your guide will point out various plants, roots, and herbs once used by the ancient Maya. The entrance tunnel that heads into the underground cave system is the start of an “eye opening” adventure. Your guide hands out flash lights, and you are ready to float in inflated inner tubes assisted by gentle currents taking you through the cave system. Intricate crystalline formations line the caves and stalagmites and stalactites add to the serene opulence of nature.
Come dressed in bathing suits, T-shirts, shorts, tennis shoes or water shoes. A change of clothes, shoes and a towel is recommended. Dine on a freshly prepared local lunch of Rice and Beans and Stewed Chicken, a Belizean specialty.
This is a great day out... The stuff after-dinner stories are made of!
Pick up service is available at all Belize City hotels.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Duration: 7 HOURS
