Cave Tubing & Xunantunich
What your day looks like
Let us take you on a journey back to the age of the pre-columbians, an age where these Mesoamerican regions were once tamed by the Mayans. Among these regions, on the native ridges of Belize, you can embark on an exploration of Mayan Ruins and cave systems on a single tour. Just about 80 miles west of Belize City is Xunantunich, an Ancient Maya archaeological site that majestically stands at the summit of a mountain giving a dominant view of the entire site and region. The Mayans made use of the land and it’s terrain, as they did so above the surface they also did so bellow the surface. The Mayans believed that the caves were an entrance to Xibalba “a place of fear” related to death. The Mayans used these caves to perform death rituals and also the river flowing through these caves provided a secret passage way to ambush enemies. Which brings us to your next stop of the trip, Cave Tubing into a cave system at Caves Branch. Inside the cave you will encounter remains of ancient artifacts, tools and also secret chambers. The tour offers a complimentary 90 minute Water Taxi transfer to Belize City where you will meet your tour guide. From there you board on a private vehicle with your guide as you begin your road trip on the George Price Highway to Xunantunich. You will get enough time to explore the entire courtyard, the Temples and also visit the on-site museum and gift shop before it is time to head back on the highway to Caves Branch. Caves Branch is renowned for it’s impressive Cave Tubing adventures and also it’s thrilling zip line. Lunch is on us! Enjoy the cave tubing, enjoy the panoramic view from the top of the Mayan Temple and enjoy the beauty of Belize.
