Join an experienced caving guide on a challenging hike through the jungle to Crystal Cave, (also called“Mountain Cow” in honor of the tapir, the National Animal of Belize) where you will descend with ropes and explore a spectacular cave system. Adorned with crystalline formations, artifacts, and human skeletal remains that have been calcified into the limestone floor, you’ll explore the Maya underworld, Xibalba, where shamans and priests came to perform ceremonies and rituals. These days we prefer to simply have lunch in the cave.
