Our Experiences

Belize's extensive river systems have carved intricate networks of caves and caverns into the limestone bedrock over millennia. Some of these larger caves remain accessible by river, offering visitors the unique experience of exploring them by floating on inner tubes or navigating through on kayaks. Many of these caves held deep spiritual significance for the ancient Maya, who believed they served as portals to Xibalba, the Maya underworld. These sacred sites were often used for rituals, providing a mystical connection between the earthly realm and the spiritual world beyond.
