CAVE TUBING AND ZIPLINING
Depart from Belize City for transfer to the lush tropical
forests of Belize. Our destination isthe Caves Branch
River and it's winding path through the Maya
Mountains and numerous ancient caves once
inhabited bythe Maya. On arriving at either the
Jaguar Paw Resort or Caves Branch Resort (our
choice), your headquarters for the day, be prepared
for a 45 minute hike down a jungle trail where your
guide will point out the various plants, roots and
herbsonce used by the ancient Maya for medicinal
purposes. The entrance tunnel which heads into the
underground cave ystem isthe start of an "eye
opening" adventure. Your guide hands out flashlights
or headlamps, and you are ready to float in inflated
inner tubes with gentle currents taking you through
the river's cave system. Intricate crystalline formations
line the caves and the majestic rise and fall of
stalagmites and stalactites add to the serene
opulence of nature. On several occasions you will
emerge into the sunlight only to enter into another
cave system. Enjoy this leisurely "Indiana Jones" float
down the river through the caves.
After tubing, head out to the jungle where you will be
strapped onto gear so you can zip through the tree
tops.
Enjoy the view.
